Time 2h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds boneless lamb shoulder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 medium onions, peeled and quartered, or 12 baby onions
1 leek, white and light green, coarsely chopped
5 swedes (rutabagas), peeled and quartered
2 turnips, peeled and cut into eighths
2 1/2 cups lamb stock or water
12 baby red-skinned potatoes
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Cut the shoulder meat into 1 1/4-inch cubes and trim off the large chunks of fat. Place the fat in a heavy pan or Dutch oven over medium low heat and cook until the fat runs out, about 5 minutes. Discard any solid bits of fat that remain.
  • Season the meat with salt and pepper and add to the hot fat. Brown meat on all sides, working in batches if necessary, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer browned meat to a casserole. Add the onions, leeks, swedes, and turnips to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and brown lightly in the fat. Add the vegetables to the casserole. Pour the stock into the pan, bring to a boil, and stir to dissolve the caramelized bits. Pour into the casserole. Lay the potatoes over the vegetables in the casserole, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil over the stove.
  • Cover the casserole, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the lamb is tender and vegetables are cooked, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.
  • When stew is cooked, pour off cooking liquid into a clean saucepan. Skim off any excess fat and bring liquid to a simmer. In another saucepan, make a roux by melting the butter, then whisking in the flour until it forms a smooth paste. Cook roux over low heat for 2 minutes. Add roux to cooking liquid, whisking until thickened slightly. Add parsley and chives, taste for seasoning, and pour back over casserole. Bring casserole back up to a simmer and serve immediately.

This recipe is missing some key ingredients. It doesn't call for any salt, pepper, or garlic. I added those myself and it turned out much better.

This stew was a disaster! The lamb was tough, the turnips and swedes were mushy, and the whole thing was just way too salty. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my stew turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have any flavor.

This stew was okay. It wasn't anything special, but it wasn't bad either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

The lamb was a bit tough, but the turnips and swedes were delicious. I would probably use a different cut of lamb next time.

This stew was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less turnips and swedes next time.
