ITALIAN LAMB STEW

Italian Lamb Stew image

This is fantastic recipe for a delicious, rich lamb stew. The lamb just melts in your mouth! It is based on a recipe from the tv show Everyday Italian but I've made quite a few changes that I think make this just right.

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
3 lbs boneless leg of lamb, cut into 11/2 - 2 inch chunks
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped (or use jarred easy garlic, I do!)
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3 1/2 cups beef stock
1 (15 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 small onions, cut into large chunks
6 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into large pieces
2 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces

Steps:

Heat oil in a large, heavy bottomed pan on a medium - high heat.
In a bowl, sprinkle lamb with salt and pepper, then add the flour. Using your hands toss the lamb in the flour until evenly coated.
Add the lamb to the pan and brown in batches to ensure you keep the heat up. This ensures you seal the meat quickly and do not stew it, keeping the juices inches.
Set the lamb aside on a plate.
Add the garlic to the same pan and sauté until soft and fragrant (around 3-5 minutes).
Add wine and red wine vinegar and simmer over medium to high heat until reduced by half.While stirring to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
Return the lamb to the pan, then add the tomatoes, tomato paste and beef stock. Stir. Cover partially and simmer on a low heat for about 1 hour until the lamb is getting tender.
Add the onions, carrots and potatoes to the stew.
Continue to simmer for another 30 minutes until the vegetables are cooked and serve. This recipe goes great with slices of garlic bread!

I thought this stew was just okay. The lamb was a bit tough and the sauce was a little bland. I probably won't make it again.

This stew was easy to make and very flavorful. I especially liked the combination of lamb and rosemary. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a perfect meal.

This was a great recipe! The lamb was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. I made a few minor changes, such as using beef broth instead of chicken broth and adding some chopped carrots and celery. It turned out great!

I've made this stew twice now and it's become a favorite. It's easy to make and always comes out delicious. The lamb is tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and satisfying. I like to serve it with mashed potatoes or rice.

This lamb stew was a hit with my family! The meat was fall-apart tender and the sauce was flavorful and rich. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
