Ingredients
- 800g lamb shoulder or leg, cut into chunks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 3 cups beef or vegetable broth
- 100g of green peas
- 1 cup red wine (optional)
- 2-3 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Method
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 160°C. Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the lamb chunks and brown them on all sides. Remove the lamb from the pot and set it aside.
- Step 2: In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Step 3: Add the carrots, beans celery, and mushrooms to the pot. Stir and cook for a few minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
- Step 4: Add back the browned lamb to the pot and stir in the tomato paste. Cook for another minute to coat the meat and vegetables with the paste.
- Step 5: Pour in the beef or vegetable broth and red wine (optional). Add the bay leaves and dried thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the stew to a simmer, then cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
- Step 6: Allow the stew to cook in the oven for about 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and the flavours have melded together.
- Step 7: Once the stew is ready, remove it from the oven and discard the bay leaves. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Tip: If you prefer a thicker stew, you can mix 1-2 tablespoons of flour with water and stir it into the stew before transferring it to the oven.
