my Easter plans are to make a babka and lamb, call my grandmas, drink white wine in a nice sundress, and study the divine comedy
ok so I am marinating the lamb chunks with onion, unpeeled garlic cloves, orange peels, bay leaf, thyme, clove, olive oil, and a verdejo wine
pat-dried the lamb, browned on all sides in oil, cooked down the other stuff in the marinade until the onions were just translucent
and threw all that shit in my trusty Dutch oven to cook low-and-slow for about 4 hours
in the meantime I made this cinnamon-cardamom dough for the babka and a spiced chocolate filling with abuelita’s hot chocolate
I attempted the fancy swirly operation and topped with orange zest, poppy seeds, and egg wash. Gonna let this rise for an hour then bake
important to note here that I am dressed like an Easter egg
he is risen
Houston we have a babka
ok last post on this thread
