LAMB STEW

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield about 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup vegetable oil
Flour, for dredging
2 1/2 pounds lamb shoulder, cut into 2-inch cubes, or purchase precut lamb stew meat
4 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium onions, cut into sixths
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
10 cups cold water, or low-sodium chicken broth
6 sprigs parsley
6 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
1 1/4 pounds medium red potatoes, quartered
4 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 celery stalks, cut into 1-inch pieces
7 canned whole, peeled tomatoes, lightly crushed
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat a large Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Pour in enough oil to fill the pan about 1/4-inch deep. Spread flour out on a plate or piece of waxed paper. Season half the lamb with 1 teaspoon of the salt and some pepper. Dredge in the flour and shake off the excess. Cook, uncovered, stirring only occasionally, until well browned, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the lamb to a plate. Repeat with the remaining lamb. Discard the oil and wipe out the pan.
  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Return the pot to the stove and melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Return the lamb to the pot and add the water or broth, and bring to a simmer. Using a piece of kitchen twine, tie together the parsley, thyme, and bay leaves and add the bundle to the pot. Stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons salt and pepper. Cover and transfer to the oven. Stew the meat until tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove the Dutch oven from the oven. Skim the fat from the cooking liquid with a ladle. Add the potatoes, carrots, celery, and the tomatoes, and bring to a simmer. Cook the stew, uncovered, on top of the stove until the liquid has thickened and the vegetables are tender, about 1 hour. Remove and discard the herb bundle. Stir in the vinegar. Divide among bowls and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of lamb: Stew meat is typically made from tougher cuts of lamb, such as the shoulder or shank. These cuts benefit from slow cooking, which tenderizes the meat and makes it fall-apart tender.
  • Brown the lamb before stewing: Browning the lamb before adding it to the stew pot helps to develop flavor and color. You can brown the lamb in a skillet over medium-high heat, or in the slow cooker on the sauté setting.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Lamb stew is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. You can add any vegetables you like, such as carrots, potatoes, onions, celery, or parsnips. Root vegetables, such as carrots and potatoes, hold their shape well in stews, while leafy greens, such as spinach or kale, can be added towards the end of cooking.
  • Add flavor with herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of the stew. Some popular choices include rosemary, thyme, oregano, garlic, and cumin. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Cook the stew low and slow: Lamb stew is a slow-cooked dish. The longer you cook it, the more tender the meat will be. Stew meat is typically cooked for at least 2 hours, but you can cook it for up to 8 hours if you have the time.
  • Serve the stew with your favorite sides: Lamb stew is a hearty and satisfying meal that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular choices include mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.

Conclusion:

Lamb stew is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It is also a great way to use up leftover lamb. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a lamb stew that your family and friends will love.
