BASIC LAMB STEW WITH VEGETABLES
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.

EASY FARMHOUSE LAMB STEW WITH VEGETABLES
So basic, so simple, so tummy-warming on a cold night! The meat does need long, slow cooking, but you don't have to stand over it. This is the time-honored way of making a typical stew. I'm sure it's ideal for a crockpot, but not having one, I can't give directions for use! This is ideal for using up those bits of fresh veggies lurking in your fridge waiting to go bad! It can be made a day ahead, cooled and refrigerated, and warmed up again, as flavour will improve. Can also be made early in the day, pulled aside, and heated up again for dinner that night. I use lamb by preference, but naturally beef can be used as well.

Steps:
- The vegetables you intend to use should be peeled and cut into chunks or rounds, and be ready. I have not included this in the prep. time!
- Heat a large pot, and add a generous film of oil. Heat the oil well.
- In the meantime, put the flour in a small bowl and dip each piece of meat in the flour. Don't worry if some have barely anything on them -- just see that the largest pieces are lightly coated.
- Add to the hot oil. Do it in two batches. When one batch has sizzled on both sides, push them to the side of the pot with a long-handled fork, and then add the rest of the meat. It is NOT vital that they all brown.
- Add the seasoning salt to the meat, and stir. Heat should be quite high at this stage.
- Now add all the vegetables, and stir the lot.
- Cut open the tin of tomatoes, and add, as well as the 1/2 teaspoon sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and hot pepper or sauce. Stir through with a wooden spoon or long-handled fork.
- The heat is still high at this stage. Add the red wine. (You could sub with beef broth, but red wine is really preferable).
- As soon as the stew is bubbling, turn heat to lowest setting and put on lid. Let stew simmer for at least 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Then taste the sauce: it is almost sure to need more salt or seasoning. You could add fresh herbs, or a tasty seasoning, as you like.
- If the veggies have rendered a lot of liquid, take off the lid and cook until sauce has reduced.
- If the opposite, and the sauce is not all that much, keep the lid on.
- Stew until the meat is tender -- all-together about 1 1/4 - 2 hours -- all depending on the meat you use.
- In the meantime, prepare either potatoes, rice or polenta to your taste.
- And do make a green salad. And open a bottle of red wine while you have a slug of the open bottle you used in the stew -- .

Place the second pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and simmer about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the young carrots, pearl onions, and turnips in a deep, wide skillet. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, remaining scant teaspoon sugar, and remaining 1/2 cup water.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Wrap herb sprigs, bay leaves, and peppercorns in a square of cheesecloth and tie into a bundle to make a bouquet garni.
- Pat lamb dry, then cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 6- to 7-quart wide heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown lamb in 3 batches, turning occasionally, about 4 minutes per batch, transferring with a slotted spoon to a bowl.
- Add remaining tablespoon oil to pot and sauté chopped onion and garlic over moderately high heat, stirring, until onion is golden, about 6 minutes. Add wine and stock and deglaze pot by boiling, scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Return lamb to pot along with any juices that have accumulated in bowl and add bouquet garni.
- Braise lamb, covered, in middle of oven until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Stir in salt and pepper.
- While lamb is braising, cook pearl onions in a 5- to 6-quart pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 10 minutes, then transfer with a slotted spoon to a large bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking (reserve cooking water). Remove onions and peel.
- Boil turnips, carrots, zucchini, and sugar snaps separately in reserved cooking water until just tender, about 5 minutes for turnips, 4 to 6 minutes for carrots, 2 minutes for zucchini, and 1 1/2 minutes for sugar snaps. Transfer vegetables as cooked with a slotted spoon to ice water and, when all are cooked, drain vegetables in a colander.
- Make a beurre manié by stirring together butter and flour in a small bowl to form a paste. Bring lamb stew to a simmer on stovetop and whisk in enough beurre manié, bit by bit, to thicken to desired consistency, then simmer about 2 minutes. Add vegetables and simmer, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose the right lamb: For a flavorful and tender stew, use lamb shoulder or leg. These cuts are well-marbled and will hold up well to the long cooking time.
- Brown the lamb: Browning the lamb before adding it to the stew will help to develop its flavor. Do this in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Don't overcrowd the pot, or the lamb will steam instead of brown.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The best lamb stews are packed with vegetables. Some good options include carrots, potatoes, celery, onions, garlic, and peas. You can also add other root vegetables, such as parsnips or turnips.
- Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices will help to add flavor to the stew. Some good options include rosemary, thyme, oregano, bay leaves, and black pepper. You can also add a bit of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
- Let the stew simmer: The longer the stew simmers, the more flavorful it will be. Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours if you have the time.
Conclusion:
Lamb stew is a hearty, comforting, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious lamb stew that your whole family will love.
