Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds lamb shoulder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 fresh rosemary sprigs
- 4 fresh thyme sprigs
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 bay leaf
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 zucchini, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Season the lamb shoulder with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side, then remove it from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the mushrooms and zucchini, cooking until they are lightly brown, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring continuously, for another minute.
Pour in the beef broth, red wine vinegar, and return the browned lamb to the pot.
Add rosemary, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and place in the preheated oven.
Braise in the oven for about 3 hours, or until the lamb is fork-tender.
Remove the Dutch oven from the oven, take out the herbs and bay leaf, and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste if needed.
Serve the braised lamb with its vegetables and broth for a wholesome and delicious keto meal.
