Time 2h55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 ½ pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
salt to taste
1 onion, chopped
¾ cup chopped carrots
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (28 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
2 cups beef stock
2 sprigs thyme
1 sprig fresh rosemary
2 cups 1/2-inch cubes butternut squash

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Season lamb with salt.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook and stir 1/2 the lamb cubes in hot oil until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer browned meat with a slotted spoon to a plate, reserving drippings in the pot. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the Dutch oven. Cook and stir second 1/2 the lamb cubes until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer lamb to plate. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Cook and stir onion, carrots, and garlic in Dutch oven until slightly softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir lamb cubes and any accumulated juices, tomatoes, beef stock, thyme, and rosemary into onion mixture and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cover Dutch oven with an oven-proof lid.
  • Cook stew in the covered Dutch oven in the preheated oven until the lamb is tender, 2 to 3 hours. Stir butternut squash cubes into stew, recover the Dutch oven, and return to the preheated oven until squash is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

This stew is delicious! I made it for my family last night and they loved it. The lamb was so tender and the butternut squash was perfectly cooked. I will definitely be making this again.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover lamb. I usually make it after Easter when I have a lot of leftover lamb from the holiday dinner. It's a great way to get a second meal out of the leftovers.

I love this stew! It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I usually make it with lamb, but I've also made it with beef and chicken. It's always a hit.

This stew is perfect for a cold winter night. The lamb is so comforting and the butternut squash adds a nice sweetness. I love to serve it with a side of crusty bread.

This stew was just okay. The lamb was a bit tough and the butternut squash was bland. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different cut of lamb and added some more spices.

I've made this stew a few times now and it's always a winner. The lamb is always tender and the butternut squash adds a nice sweetness. I like to serve it with a side of mashed potatoes or rice.

This was my first time making lamb stew and it turned out great! The recipe was easy to follow and the stew was delicious. I especially liked the way the butternut squash melted into the stew and added a creamy texture.
