DIRECTIONS: Have a butcher prepare lamb as follows: Remove fell and bone, trim off excess fat, cut lamb into 1 1/2 inch cubes.
Heat lard or shortening in large skillet until sizzling; add lamb, brown on all sides until golden, stirring. Sprinkle fl our over meat, cook a few minutes, stirring constantly. Add garlic, cook over very low heat until garlic begins to smell. Add water, enough to barely cover meat, tomato paste, bouquet garni, salt and pepper. Cover, simmer 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, put sugar lumps and 1 tablespoon water in small saucepan; heat over low heat until sugar caramelizes. Add to meat, stir to blend well. Cover; simmer 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Prepare vegetables as follows: Chop yellow onions. Leave pearl onions whole, chop turnips into large dice and chop carrots. Heat butter in large skillet until hot; add vegetables, sprinkling with 1 teaspoon sugar. Cook over low heat until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
Add vegetables to lamb; cover and simmer 50 minutes or until vegetables and meat are fork-tender, stirring often. Remove vegetables and meat to heated platter. Skim off surface fat before pouring sauce over meat. Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with crusty French bread and a tossed, crisp green salad. Serves 6 to 8.

He is among the most respected electric guitarists.One of King’s trademarks is naming his guitar (Gibson ES335) “Lucille”.
