Add the onion to the pot and cook over medium heat until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

Add the artichokes, cover, and continue braising over low heat until the lamb is fork-tender and has reached at least 63°C internally.

Whisk the eggs, lemon juice, and dill together until evenly combined.

Step 7
Slowly whisk two ladlefuls of hot braising liquid into the egg mixture, adding the first ladleful a little at a time.

Remove the Dutch oven from the heat and stir in the tempered sauce. Return it to low heat and stir gently until slightly thickened and the sauce reaches 71°C; do not let it boil.
