Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds lamb stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound carrots, sliced
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1-1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth

Tips:

  • Sear the lamb: This step helps to brown the meat and develop flavor. Be sure to sear the lamb in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan and lower the temperature.
  • Use a good quality stock: The stock is the base of the stew, so it's important to use a good quality one. If you don't have time to make your own, use a store-bought stock that is low in sodium.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the stew. Feel free to add any vegetables that you like, such as carrots, celery, potatoes, or turnips.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to the stew. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less since they are more concentrated.
  • Simmer the stew: The stew needs to simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the lamb is tender. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the stew with crusty bread: Crusty bread is the perfect accompaniment to lamb stew. It's great for soaking up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

This lamb stew with lemon and thyme is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give this lamb stew a try.
