Savour every mouthful of slow-cooked lamb, with pan-fried polenta to soak up the juices.
- Heat half the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until soft. Add the raisin, anchovy and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until the onion is golden. Add the wine and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium. Cook for 4 minutes or until the liquid has reduced by one-third.
- Meanwhile, place the flour in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the lamb and toss to coat. Shake off excess. Heat the remaining oil in a large flameproof casserole dish over medium heat. Add half the lamb and cook, turning, for 5 minutes or until browned. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining lamb, reheating the dish between batches.
- Return the lamb to the dish. Add the onion mixture, tomato puree, stock and rosemary. Bring to a simmer. Cover. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 1 hour 20 minutes or until lamb is very tender. Discard the rosemary. Use a large metal spoon to remove excess fat from the surface. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the lamb among serving plates. Serve with rocket leaves and the polenta squares.
