How to Cook Lamb with Quince
- Remove any bone and cut the meat into about 10-12 pieces. Season with salt, freshly ground pepper, cinnamon and ground rosebuds then sautée in a large pan for a few moments in hot olive oil. Cover with water and allow to gently simmer.
- Meanwhile, wash and peel the quinces and cut them in pieces. Add them to the pan, sprinkle with the sugar and continue simmering, stirring from time to time.
- When the meat is cooked (about 30- 45minutes depending on the size of the pieces), remove from the heat and allow to rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with steamed potatoes, pasta or couscous. Or serve cold with a simple salad of lettuce leaves.

Quinces are peeled and cut more easily if steamed for about half an hour first.
Reviews of Lamb with Quince
![]() This recipe is delicious. I had some frozen cooked quinces from earlier in the year (I'm in New Zealand). Luckily, my daughter works in the meat industry here in NZ and she keeps me supplied with top-quality boned-out lamb legs. Everybody loved it. connie (4 reviews) |
![]() I am lucky, I live in Spain and have a quince tree in the lane. Also it is available in the shops, ready to use. It is fantastic with pork. I really like lamb so I enjoyed making this for friends who love rustic type dishes. The lamb was meltingly tender and the combination of spices worked really well. Served with couscous and a nice Rioja, this was a real hit! valentina (1 review) |
