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.

his mission is literally just to show everyone how easy and economical it is to cook at home. it is a public service, to spread awareness, and to preserve the art of cooking.

Well Said !!! he is a Treasure !!!

[@anitalowery2082]

I love how he mentions his mother and his wife so often.

[@benspencer5744]

This guy is a true legend..his demeanor is has always been great and he cooks with love.

[@JohnSmith-py4ok]

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.

[@SuperJoes70]

Your so right simple ways to make great dishs

[@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”

[@michaelb9554]

He's 85 years old and still going quite strong... Very steady and sharp. May God continue to bless him.

[@joannaedwards6325]

And I think still handsome. 😋

[@SN-rp3kk]

Amen.

[@Matthew-wi5si]

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

[@harbourdogNL]

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

[@christophejergales7852]

My favorite chef. No pretentious bs, just real comfort food.

[@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.

[@gynandroidhead]

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 😊

[@deltrino]

His face when he forgot the salt lmao

[@OhWaker]

He did it so late in the cooking too lol 4:50

[@ElMoShApPiNeSs]

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

[@OhWaker]

@@ElMoShApPiNeSs 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.

[@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.

[@danielmartin8913]

I love how real his kitchen is. The knobs on that gas stovetop haven't been updated since Return of the Jedi came out.

[@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.

[@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.

[@BlancheDeverOh]

These videos are the highlight of my Wednesdays, and I’m perfectly OK with that.

[@AnythngnEvrythng]

Funny thing its a wed as i watch this

[@chasmalo8637]

I never pass them by when YT puts them on my home page.

[@balsamfir1688]

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

[@GDGillis25]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that forgets salt and pep until I get excited to taste something

[@SmokyCaviar]

Professional like to apply salt at the end to keep the meet more tender!

[@exegete55]

A lifetime of experience makes this look easy. (p.s. Just lifting that pot is a challenge!)

[@georgeneckrock7575]

So true 👍👍

[@popo978]

I have that exact same pot and it is rather heavy. I certainly would have removed the meat first before draining. Pleasure to know Jacques is in good health!

[@kristinaleigh4502]

Can't express how thrilled I was to see Monsieur Jacques in my feed. Have loved watching this man in the kitchen my entire life. Happy cooking! 💜

[@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!" 😄✌

[@jasonrapelje3945]

I find myself watching his videos from beginning to end. Normally I’m skipping around ... not with this gentleman. He is the best.

Lamb is very good for eating. It is easily digestible and diverse. Used widely in middle eastern food dishes and Mediterranean dishes. You can cook a butterflied leg of lamb on the grill and it is fabulous, Darlink, just fabulous!

[@joannaedwards6325]

Wished I had paid more attention to my mothers cooking. She'd take a big honkin' leg o lamb and shake on some seasoning, stick in some pieces of raw garlic, shove it in the oven for a while and take it out and carve and serve - - - SIMPLY HEAVEN !! Thank you Mommy 💜✌😢
