Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound lamb shoulder chops
2 medium potatoes (peeled and quartered)
3 small carrots (peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces)
1 medium onion (quartered)
2 ribs celery (trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces)
1 small green bell pepper (cored and cut into 1/2-inch strips)
Optional: 1/2 cup diced rutabaga
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
Dash pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons flour (all purpose)
3 tablespoons water (cold)
2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Trim the fat from the lamb chops, then cut the meat into 1-inch pieces. Place the meat and bones in a stockpot or Dutch oven; barely cover the meat with about 1 1/4 cups water. Cover the pan and simmer for 45 minutes (do not boil).
  • Add the potato, carrots, onion, celery, green pepper, and optional rutabaga with salt and pepper to the meat in the Dutch oven.
  • Cover and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, until meat and vegetables are tender.
  • Using tongs, remove the bones to a bowl and discard.
  • Remove the Dutch oven from the heat.
  • Mix the flour and cold water. Stir the mixture into the stew. Return to heat. Cook, stirring until the stew is thickened.
  • Add the chopped parsley and taste and adjust the seasonings.
  • Serve the stew hot. You'll want some biscuits, rolls, or bread to sop up the stew. It's also nice to start with a green salad. Good wines to pair with lamb stew are those that are simple red blends that aren't too tannic. Or, you can pair it with a British pale ale. Refrigerate any leftovers and use within three to four days. The stew reheats well in the microwave for lunch or dinner. If you don't think you can finish the leftovers in that time, freeze the stew in an airtight container. Frozen stew will maintain the best quality for four to six months.

  • Season the lamb chops well: Lamb chops have a mild flavor, so it's important to season them well before cooking. A simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is a good place to start.

  • Slow-cook the lamb chops: After searing, the lamb chops can be slow-cooked in a variety of ways. You can braise them in a Dutch oven, simmer them in a stew, or roast them in the oven. The key is to cook the chops until they are fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Serve the lamb chops with your favorite sides: Lamb chops can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. You can also add a simple sauce or gravy to the chops for extra flavor.
