- In a large ovenproof skillet, brown the meat on both sides in the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking dish or Dutch oven.
- In the same skillet, brown the vegetables (approx: 5 minutes), add the garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute. Deglaze with the red wine and let reduce by half. Add the tomato paste and chopped tomatoes. Add the seasonings and put the lamb back. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Cover and simmer over low heat for 2 hours (check cooking after 1h45) Note: the meat must pull apart.
- Remove the lamb from the skillet and keep warm (in the oven). Pass and keep the cooking juice on hold. Store or discard cooked vegetables for another use.
