Cut the lamb into 2-inch cubes and season with salt and pepper.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks. Set aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Sear the lamb cubes in batches, ensuring they are browned on all sides. Remove and set them aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot.
Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and golden, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, tomato paste, ground cumin, and paprika. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Return the seared lamb to the pot and pour in the stock. Add the rosemary sprigs, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Drain the potatoes and add them to the pot. Cover with a lid and let simmer over low heat for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the frozen peas and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the lamb is fork-tender.
Discard the rosemary sprigs and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of bread or rice on the side.
