Ingredients

This recipe serves 4 and all quantities are scaled from the original recipe. Cooking times remain unchanged.

• 20 new potatoes, halved
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 cup red wine
• 4 lamb shoulder steaks (6 ounces each)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 bunches fresh spinach, cleaned
• cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons softened butter

Directions

1. Step 1: Place the halved potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let steam dry for a couple of minutes.
2. Step 2: In a separate saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
3. Step 3: Stir in the brown sugar and pour in the red wine. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a gentle boil. Let it cook for 5 minutes, then remove from heat, cover, and keep warm.
4. Step 4: Season the lamb steaks with salt and pepper. Press cumin seeds into both sides of the meat to ensure even coating.
5. Step 5: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb steaks and cook for approximately 4 minutes per side for medium doneness, adjusting time as needed. Transfer steaks to a warm plate to rest.
6. Step 6: In the same skillet, add the fresh spinach. Season with salt and pepper and cook until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Step 7: Mash the drained potatoes with sour cream and softened butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper until creamy and smooth.
8. Step 8: To plate, place a mound of mashed potatoes in the center of each plate. Layer the wilted spinach on top, then add a lamb steak. Strain the red wine sauce over the steak and serve immediately.
