Braised Lamb with Chinese Flavors
November 13, 2013Photo by Judith Hausman Pair some lamb with some seasonal turnips. My local lamb share won’t be here until just before Christmas, but cool weather and a stash of dense yet mild Japanese turnips put me in mind of braised meats and warm Asian flavors.
