Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds lamb shoulder, cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup beef or lamb broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated Gruyère cheese
  • 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb cubes and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the lamb from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened. Add the minced garlic and dried thyme, and cook for another minute.

  5. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the grated Gruyère cheese, breadcrumbs, and chopped parsley. Sprinkle this mixture over the lamb in the baking dish.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the gratin topping is golden and bubbly.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
