- 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

Instructions
Cut the lamb shoulder into 1-inch cubes, trimming off excess fat.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the lamb cubes in batches, browning them on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Return the lamb to the pot and stir in carrots, celery, potatoes, and turnip.
Pour in the beef broth and canned diced tomatoes with their juice.
Add thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.
Simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and flavors have melded.
Remove bay leaves before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving for added freshness and flavor.
