LAMB STEW WITH ROSEMARY, MINT, AND WHITE WINE

Steps:

• 1 In a large Dutch oven or other deep, heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat the oil over medium heat. Dry the lamb with paper towels. Put just as many lamb pieces as will fit comfortably in a single layer into the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned on all sides, about 20 minutes. Transfer the browned lamb to a plate. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook the remaining lamb in the same way. 2 When all the meat is browned, spoon off the excess fat. Add the onion, garlic, and herbs and stir well. Cook until the onion has wilted, about 5 minutes. 3 Add the wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up and blending in the browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Cook 1 minute. 4 Add the broth and tomato paste. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook 1 hour, stirring occasionally, or until the lamb is tender. Add a little water if the sauce becomes too dry.
