- Bring 1 c. water to a boil. Place porcinis in a small bowl. Add in boiling water, and soak till soft, about 30 min; strain, reserving liquid. Chop porcinis, and set aside.
- Wrap bay leaves and cloves in a small piece of cheesecloth, and tie in a bundle with kitchen twine.
- In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add in onions, and saute/fry till transparent, about 10 min. Add in lamb, lamb bone, and salt, and saute/fry 10 min.
- Add in cheesecloth bundle and wine, and increase the heat to high. Cook till wine evaporates, about 10 min. Stir in tomato paste, softened porcinis, and reserved mushroom liquid, and cook for 5 min.
- Add in tomatoes and 2 c. chicken stock; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook till lamb is tender and sauce is thick and chunky, about 1 hour.
- As the mix cooks, add in remaining 2 c. stock, little by little, as needed. There should be about 6 c. of sauce.
- This recipe yields 8 servings.
- Comments: The Italian word for "stew" or possibly "hash," guazzetto can also refer to a cooking technique, in that the ingredients are cooked for an hour or possibly more in a sauce of white wine, herbs, tomatoes, and chicken broth. This technique is especially good for tougher meat like leg of lamb, because the long simmering time makes it extremely tender and flavorful. The end result is more stew-like than saucy.
