Lamb Stew | Jacques Pépin Cooking At Home | KQED

If you're looking for a winter recipe to take the chill off, nothing beats a nice hearty stew. Jacques Pepin's stew recipe uses lamb breast, chopped vegetables, and fresh herbs. Delicious and inexpensive!
Cut the lamb breast into strips and remove the fat. Brown in a large pot on high heat for 20 to 30 minutes total. When it browns a bit, reduce heat and partially cover for remaining time. Pour out the fat. Stir in one coarsely chopped onion, 4 cloves of crushed garlic, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of flour. Add 2 cups of water, thyme, and bay leaves, bring to a boil and cook for 5 - 10 minutes. Add chopped carrots, turnip, potatoes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cook for 30 minutes.
What you'll need:
Lamb breast, one onion (chopped coarsely), 4 cloves of crushed garlic, 1 1/2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 2 cups water, fresh thyme, 2 bay leaves, 2 carrots, one turnip, two peeled potatoes, salt & pepper, 1/2 cup frozen peas.

[@Colinupham]

I love that he always says “whatever you have in the fridge”. He doesn’t waste food. He’s the best chef / cook to learn from.

[@Klingy_]

And yet so simple and delicious recipes

[@billb5690]

He is truly the king of chefs

[@Triple070007]

Definitely not pretentious, he said he'll mix leftover wines into one container, "Wine is wine!"

[@leslieedalgo7861]

yes frugal gourmet, simple abundance!

[@Colinupham]

@@Triple070007 or when he was making a dish using a lot of leftover cheese “just cut the moldy piece off and use the rest”. He is great. So many would just throw it all away. I think of something a friends said once “these people have never known hunger”

[@christophejergales7852]

Jacques is a true role model. A total master at his craft but humble as ever. He just wants to teach people what he loves. No ego at all. We need more people like that!

[@hank1519]

Yes! His humbleness makes it so easy to learn from him. He treats you as a friend.

[@monkeytennis8861]

Calm down

[@robplazzman6049]

The people they have been telling us are the Master chefs are quite often not necessarily the best, but good TV material. Gordon Ramsey is a good example, hugely entertaining, but his Spaghetti Carbonara…….. oh jeeez !

[@dontcare7086]

That's why I loved Anthony Bourdain. He was totally humble and always made it a point to reinforce to everyone that he was not a great chef. He always said he was a leader of men and relied on a talented crew but he was never a chef who came up with exquisite ideas and he couldn't understand how his friends that were those types of chefs could look at something so simple and create a masterpiece, a Rembrandt of food. His friends that were the worlds greatest chefs and visionaries were just as humble as him. It seems like a handful chefs become famous and develop an ego due to their celebrity status. Anthony always said he felt like a fraud. I really miss that guy he had such a huge impact on people who never met him yet we all felt like we lost a dear friend.

[@swapnilsrivastava8002]

The way he says at the end "Hope you enjoy doing that. Happy cooking." is honestly the best part about the video for me.

[@Matthew-wi5si]

I love how his “coarsely chopped” onion is more perfect than my precisely diced onions.

The man's knife skills are absolute art.

[@kennethsmith2758]

Same here, but they learn that when they start in the restaurant trade or cooking school. I have tried but nearly cut my fingers off

[@bcd4562]

Dear KQED, please send him our regards. I've been thinking of him and his family. I don't know if he recorded this recently but please thank him. He has been a lovely calm during this time and he is appreciated very much. And thank you for keeping these videos for us.

85 years old and Jacque is still the man. I make awesome hard and soft-boiled eggs because of this guy

[@sayandas5]

Give Chef John a look 😊

[@byrnez2755]

I love how he forgets the salt almost every time! I' used to watch him, when I was a kid. Just re-discovered him. Love it! So relaxing to watch.

[@FrankTedesco]

The Master. Calm, dignified. Cannot be beat.

[@harbourdogNL]

M. Pepin, one of the greatest Chefs of all time! Seriously. I'd give anything to sit down to a simple meal cooked by him, say an omelette or scrambled eggs...it would be flawless and utterly sublime. A man who knows how to cook the most fabulous and complex you would ever eat, but could also make you the best damn hotdog you'd ever have and do it with with as much love and compassion for cooking as the former. I used to watch him as a kid. Great man, great technique, and so down to earth. A master and guru.

[@joannaedwards6325]

I saw a vid of him doing a cooking demo for an audience of all CHEFS. And he made his perfect French omelet.

[@balsamfir1688]

What a legend. He’s still throwing fastballs in his relaxing approachable teaching style. Stews are about as homestyle cooking gets

[@jasonrapelje3945]

[@joannaedwards6325]

Recommend watching him in his episodes on SIMPLY MING. The host looks at J.P. with such respect and reverence that one commenter said, " I wish my girlfriend looked at me the way Ming looks at Jacque Pepin." The response to that was, "Learn to cook!" 😄✌

[@ernestinehemingway7799]

lol - my Nan had a little gas cooker on legs! the lighting of the oven with a spill, the knob the size of a teacup, the fearsome jets, all produced her wondrous cooking, never tasted gravy like hers since, simple food but delicious

@@OhWaker I think that's intentional with stews.

[@OhWaker]

@@BigFatCock0 I see, alright. That makes sense. It can break down some proteins and also heat up the food faster. Depending on what you're doing this could be good or bad. Just need to control it appropriately

[@stevenorton1]

@@OhWaker It also has to do with the stew cooking down. If you salt it where it tastes just right at the beginning, by the end when the liquid amount has reduced by 25%-50%, it will taste too salty.
