Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless lamb shoulder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 medium carrots
- 2 medium parsnips
- 2 celery stalks
- 2 medium potatoes
- 4 cups low-sodium beef stock
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup frozen peas
Instructions
Trim the lamb shoulder of any visible fat and cut the meat into 1-inch cubes.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the lamb cubes and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the lamb from the pot and set aside.
Chop the onion and garlic finely. Slice the carrots and parsnips into 1/2-inch pieces. Dice the celery stalks and potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the carrots, parsnips, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes to soften the vegetables slightly.
Return the lamb to the pot. Add the beef stock, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is tender and the flavors deepen.
Taste the stew and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add the frozen peas and cook for another 10 minutes until the peas are heated through.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Serve hot and enjoy your low-fat hearty lamb stew!
