Delicious Spring Lamb Stew Recipe for a Hearty Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 2 lbs spring lamb, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced
  • 1 cup potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup onions, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef or lamb broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup peas, frozen

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Sear the Lamb

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb chunks and sear until browned on all sides.

    Do not overcrowd the pot; sear in batches if necessary.
  2. Sauté Vegetables

    Add onions and garlic to the pot, sautéing until onions are translucent.

    Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  3. Add Broth and Herbs

    Pour in the broth and add thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.

    Use low-sodium broth for a healthier option.
  4. Incorporate Vegetables

    Add carrots and potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine.

    Cut vegetables into even sizes for uniform cooking.
  5. Simmer

    Reduce heat to low and cover the pot. Let the stew simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, until lamb is tender.

    Check occasionally and add water if the stew thickens too much.
  6. Add Peas

    In the last 10 minutes of cooking, add frozen peas to the stew and stir.

    This adds color and sweetness to the dish.
  7. Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs.

    Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
