Provided by Nancy Fuller

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons olive oil
4 slices center-cut bacon
2 pounds lamb stew meat
4 cups mushrooms, quartered
6 large carrots, roughly chopped
5 cloves garlic, smashed
2 Vidalia onions, roughly chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups beef stock
1/2 cup sherry
3 bay leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves
1 bag petit frozen peas
Buttered noodles, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and bacon. When the bacon begins to lightly brown, remove it from the pot with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the lamb and let the meat brown on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the meat with a slotted spoon and set aside. Chop the bacon into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Add the mushrooms, carrots, garlic, onions and bacon to the pot and stir. Mix in the flour. Add the beef stock, sherry, bay leaves and lamb. Add salt and pepper and cover the pot but leave a vent for the steam to escape. Bring the mixture to a simmer and simmer until the meat is tender and falling apart, about 2 hours.
  • Slowly stir in the heavy cream, parsley, tarragon and peas. Serve the stew in shallow bowls over buttered egg noodles.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb: Opt for lamb shoulder or leg, as these cuts are well-suited for stewing and will yield tender, flavorful meat.
  • Brown the lamb before stewing: This step helps develop a rich, caramelized flavor and adds depth to the stew.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Incorporate a mix of vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes for a colorful and nutritious stew.
  • Enhance the flavor with herbs and spices: Experiment with various herbs and spices like rosemary, thyme, cumin, and paprika to create a flavorful and aromatic stew.
  • Simmer the stew low and slow: Allow the stew to simmer for at least 1-2 hours or until the lamb is tender and the vegetables are cooked through. This process allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Adjust the thickness of the stew: If you prefer a thicker stew, add a cornstarch or flour slurry towards the end of the cooking process. Alternatively, for a thinner stew, remove some of the vegetables and blend them to create a smooth sauce.
