MINT LAMB STEW



Mint Lamb Stew image

The lamb here isn't just tender-it melts in your mouth! This recipe is an adaptation of a stew my mother used to make while I was growing up in England. Now I round it out with local root vegetables. -Maureen Evans, Rancho Cucamonga, California

LAMB STEW WITH ROSEMARY, MINT, AND WHITE WINE



Lamb Stew with Rosemary, Mint, and White Wine image

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 2-inch chunks
1/4 cup olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup Meat Broth or water
2 tablespoons tomato paste

Steps:

  • 1 In a large Dutch oven or other deep, heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat the oil over medium heat. Dry the lamb with paper towels. Put just as many lamb pieces as will fit comfortably in a single layer into the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned on all sides, about 20 minutes. Transfer the browned lamb to a plate. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook the remaining lamb in the same way. 2 When all the meat is browned, spoon off the excess fat. Add the onion, garlic, and herbs and stir well. Cook until the onion has wilted, about 5 minutes. 3 Add the wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up and blending in the browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Cook 1 minute. 4 Add the broth and tomato paste. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook 1 hour, stirring occasionally, or until the lamb is tender. Add a little water if the sauce becomes too dry.
