BASIC LAMB STEW WITH VEGETABLES
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Trim the fat from the lamb chops, then cut the meat into 1-inch pieces. Place the meat and bones in a stockpot or Dutch oven; barely cover the meat with about 1 1/4 cups water. Cover the pan and simmer for 45 minutes (do not boil).
- Add the potato, carrots, onion, celery, green pepper, and optional rutabaga with salt and pepper to the meat in the Dutch oven.
- Cover and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, until meat and vegetables are tender.
- Using tongs, remove the bones to a bowl and discard.
- Remove the Dutch oven from the heat.
- Mix the flour and cold water. Stir the mixture into the stew. Return to heat. Cook, stirring until the stew is thickened.
- Add the chopped parsley and taste and adjust the seasonings.
- Serve the stew hot. You'll want some biscuits, rolls, or bread to sop up the stew. It's also nice to start with a green salad. Good wines to pair with lamb stew are those that are simple red blends that aren't too tannic. Or, you can pair it with a British pale ale. Refrigerate any leftovers and use within three to four days. The stew reheats well in the microwave for lunch or dinner. If you don't think you can finish the leftovers in that time, freeze the stew in an airtight container. Frozen stew will maintain the best quality for four to six months.

Steps:
- In a 4-quart heavy-bottomed pot, heat 1 tablespoon butter over high heat. Add lamb and brown well on all sides.
- Add carrot, onion, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar over meat and vegetables and continue cooking, stirring, until the sugar has caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Drain fat from the pot. Add flour and stir until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add tomato puree and bouquet garni. Pour over enough water to just cover meat and vegetables. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and simmer about 1 hour.
- Transfer lamb to another 4-quart heavy-bottomed pot and add potatoes. Strain remaining liquid from the first pot over the lamb in the second pot, firmly pushing the contents through the strainer. If the liquid does not quite cover the lamb and potatoes, add enough water to just cover. Season with salt and pepper. Place the second pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and simmer about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the young carrots, pearl onions, and turnips in a deep, wide skillet. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, remaining scant teaspoon sugar, and remaining 1/2 cup water. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, until water has completely evaporated and vegetables are tender and glazed; set aside.
- Bring a medium pot filled three-quarters with water to a boil over high heat. Add salt and return to a boil. Place green beans in a mesh strainer basket; transfer basket to boiling water and cook green beans until tender. Remove basket and drain green beans. Place peas in mesh basket; transfer basket to boiling water and cook until peas are tender. Remove basket and drain peas.
- Skim fat from surface of meat mixture. Divide stew evenly between 4 bowls. Add vegetables to bowls with lamb and serve immediately.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use bone-in lamb shoulder or neck.
- Brown the lamb in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to evenly distribute heat and prevent scorching.
- Add enough liquid to cover the lamb, but not so much that the stew becomes watery.
- Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for at least 1 hour, or until the lamb is fall-apart tender.
- Add vegetables such as carrots, celery, potatoes, and onions during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Season the stew to taste with salt, pepper, and herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano.
- Serve the stew over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
Conclusion:
Lamb stew with vegetables is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can create a delicious and satisfying stew that the whole family will enjoy.
