Delicious Lamb And Vegetable Stew Recipe for the Perfect Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 kg lamb shoulder, cut into chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 2 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) (optional)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Brown the Lamb

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add lamb chunks and brown on all sides.

    Avoid crowding the pot to ensure even browning.
  2. Sauté Vegetables

    Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until onions are translucent.

    Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. Add Remaining Vegetables

    Stir in sliced carrots, zucchini, and chickpeas. Cook for 5 minutes.

    This helps to release the flavors of the vegetables.
  4. Season and Simmer

    Add vegetable broth, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.

    Scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze and incorporate all flavors.
  5. Cook Slowly

    Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours or until lamb is tender.

    Check occasionally and add more broth if needed.
  6. Garnish and Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

    Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
