Instructions
Dice the leftover leg of lamb into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes with their juice and the stock.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, rosemary sprigs, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf.
Season with salt and pepper, then bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes to an hour, or until the vegetables are tender.
Add the diced leftover lamb and frozen peas to the pot, stirring to combine.
Simmer uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the lamb to heat through and the flavors to meld.
Remove the rosemary sprigs, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf from the stew.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve hot with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
