Spring lamb stew

Oct 03, 2016
Share:

Who said healthy can’t be hearty and tasty? This beautiful lamb stew is packed with veggies, herbs and lovey lamb to create the most comforting and delicious dinner! Best of all it’s a breeze to make with everything thrown in the one pot and left to bubble away for two hours. Once it’s cooked the meat is so tender it just falls apart on your fork, while the gravy is full of flavour and just waiting to be mopped up with a nice slice of thick toast. Yum!

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 30 g butter
  • 1 kg (roughly) deboned lamb shoulder or neck, cut into 50 g pieces
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 3 ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 garnish bouquet, made up of a few sprigs of parsley, 2 sprigs of thyme and 1 bay leaf
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 baby carrots
  • 8 small turnips
  • 200 g shelled peas
  • 8 small onion
  • 8 baby potatoes
  • Chopped parsley

Method

1. Preheat oven to 150°C. Heat a little oil and butter in an oven-proof casserole and brown the lamb pieces on all sides for a few minutes. Add the diced carrot and onion and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in the flour to coat the meat well, then add the tomatoes and stir for 1 minute. Add the stock, garlic and garnish bouquet. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid and cook in preheated oven for about 2 hours.

2. Meanwhile, steam the baby carrots, turnips, peas, small onions and potatoes.

3. When the meat is tender, add the vegetables, stir well and reheat. Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley.

ENJOY!
