This is based on a recipe from BH&G's Biggest Book of Slow Cooker Recipes. This is a nice, hearty lamb stew. I serve with bread (homemade, of course!) and a salad.

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs lamb stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup pearl barley (regular)
1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 (10 ounce) jar roasted sweet red peppers, drained and thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup chopped of fresh mint

Steps:

Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet, or an electric frying appliance, such as in my case. Brown half of the meat in the hot oil and set aside. Add remaining meat; add onion when meat is nearly browned. After the onion is tender, two minutes or so, add the garlic to the onion/meat mixture and saute for a couple of more minutes.
In a 3 1/2- to 5-quart slow cooker, combine the broth, undrained tomatoes, barley, wine (if using), dried dillweed (if using), salt, and black pepper. Add the meat mixture and stir.
Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 10 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours. Before serving, stir in the roasted peppers and fresh mint. If using fresh dill, stir that in as well.

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 shoulder of young lamb
4 carrots
2 stalks of celery
4 red onions
4 splashes olive oil
3 squashed garlic cloves
12 sage leaves
8 peppercorns
1 1/4 cups red wine
1 1/4 cups chicken stock
3/4 cup of pearl barley
salt
12 fresh almonds
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Trim the fat from 1 shoulder of young lamb. Peel, wash, and thinly slice 4 carrots and 2 stalks of celery. Peel 4 red onions and cut into small wedges.
Cook the shoulder of lamb
Preheat the oven to 300°F. Heat a flameproof casserole dish with a splash of olive oil and brown the shoulder on all sides. Take it out, throw away the cooking fat, wipe the casserole dish clean, and put it back on the heat with an additional splash of olive oil.
Put in half the vegetables and sweat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring. Add 3 squashed garlic cloves, 12 sage leaves, and 8 peppercorns, mix well, and return the shoulder of lamb to the casserole dish.
Pour in 1 1/4 cups of red wine and reduce by half. Then add 1 1/4 cups of chicken stock, cover the casserole dish with a lid, and put in the oven for 2 1/2 hours, basting the shoulder from time to time.
Take out the casserole dish. Remove the shoulder, wrap it in aluminium foil, and keep warm. Keep the casserole dish on hand.
Prepare the pearl barley
Shortly before the end of cooking the lamb, put 3/4 cup of pearl barley to soak for 10 minutes.
Heat another casserole dish with a splash of olive oil, put in the rest of the vegetables, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Drain the pearl barley and add to the vegetables. Stir, season with salt, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
Take a ladleful of the cooking liquid from the lamb casserole dish and pour it into the barley casserole dish. Let it swell with the liquid and cook for 15 to 18 minutes, adding more of the liquid as and when it is absorbed.
Peel 12 fresh almonds and add them at the end of cooking with a splash of olive oil. Stir and check the seasoning.
To finish your dish
Cut the shoulder into large pieces and return them to their casserole dish. Add the contents of the other casserole dish and a generous twist of freshly ground black pepper and serve in the casserole dish.
