Persian lamb and rhubarb stew, from Nami-Nami
When I was a little girl, we moved to a house in the suburbs, and the first Spring we lived there we discovered a rogue rhubarb plant pushing its way up, right in the middle of our back yard. I'd never seen rhubarb before, nor had my parents ever cooked with it, and for the first few years my dad just attacked it with the lawn mower, thinking he would be done with it. Until it came up again the following year. I've never tried pairing it with meat, as Pille of Nami-Nami does in this Persian lamb and rhubarb stew, but the notion intrigues me. There's a bit of mint in the stew, too. I can't wait to try it.
Lydia, so sweet of you to mention my stew. Coincidentally, I made this again last Friday, as we were filming an episode for a cooking show for an Estonian TV channel. Turned out extremely well - and enjoyed by everyone. Such a lovely and unusual flavour combination!
Pille, my pleasure. I can't wait to try this.
You had me at the title. Rhubarb is just leafing out in my garden; can't wait to try this!
