Hearty Lamb And Vegetable Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan, and brown the lamb meat on all sides. Drain fat, and stir in the beef broth and wine. Season with garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 20 minutes.
• Mix in the squash, parsnips, sweet potatoes, celery, and onion. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
• In a small bowl, blend the sour cream and flour. Gradually stir in 1/2 cup of the hot stew mixture.
• Stir the sour cream mixture into the saucepan. Remove the bay leaf, and continue to cook and stir until thickened.

Steps:

• Spray 4-quart Dutch oven with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Add lamb and onion; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lamb is brown on all sides.
• Add flour; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in wine; simmer 2 minutes. Stir in broth. Cover; simmer 10 minutes.
• Add potatoes, carrots, radishes and thyme. Simmer uncovered 12 minutes or until lamb and potatoes are tender. Add peas; simmer 5 minutes or until peas are tender. Stir in parsley, salt and pepper. Remove thyme sprigs before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat the canola oil in a medium (10- to 11-inch) ovenproof pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook for 5 minutes, until browned. Transfer the bacon to a large plate, leaving the fat in the pan. Dry the lamb with paper towels and toss it in a bowl first with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and then with the 1/4 cup of flour. Raise the heat to medium high and cook half the lamb in the bacon fat for 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned. Add the lamb to the plate with the bacon and brown the second batch, also transferring it to the plate. Add the garlic to the pot and cook for one minute.
• Pour the lamb and bacon, along with any juices that collect, back into the pot. Add the beef stock, wine, tomatoes (including the juice), thyme, rosemary, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil, scraping up the brown bits in the pot. Simmer for 5 minutes, cover and place in the oven for 30 minutes. Add the carrots, potatoes, onions and turnips, cover and return to the oven for 1 hour, until all the vegetables are tender.
• Mash the 2 tablespoons of flour with the butter in a small bowl. Stir the mixture into the stew and simmer on top of the stove for 3 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the peas and parsley, season to taste and serve hot in large shallow bowls.

Steps:

• Fry two slices of bacon, then set aside bacon and drippings.
• In a large bowl, add flour, dried thyme, oregano, basil, pepper, and garlic powder and stir to combine.
• Add pieces of lamb to mixture and coat.
• In a Dutch oven, warm one tablespoon of oil over medium heat.
• Add one half of lamb/flour/herbs mixture and brown meat, then set aside.
• Repeat previous step with second half of lamb/flour/herbs mixture.
• Return all browned lamb to dutch oven.
• Crumble fried bacon into dutch oven and add bacon drippings, onion, carrot, and garlic.
• Sauté for 2 minutes.
• Add wine, stock, rosemary and bay leaf.
• Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes.
• Remove rosemary and bay leaf.
• Add potato, bell pepper, mushrooms, peas, and corn.
• Re-cover and continue to simmer until vegetables are tender, approximately 30 minutes.
• Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large casserole. Tip in the lamb and cook for 5 mins until any liquid has disappeared, then add the onion, carrots and leeks. Cook for 5 mins more, stirring often, until the veg is starting to soften.
• Pour over the stock, add the rosemary, cover with a lid and cook over a low heat for 1 hr. Stir in the beans and cook for 30 mins more, topping up with water if necessary, until the lamb is tender and cooked through. Serve with some crusty bread or potatoes, if you like.
