Ingredients
LAMB MARINADE
- 3½ pounds lamb shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 3 medium garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- ¾ cup dry white wine
STEW
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large sweet Vidalia onion, peeled and chopped
- 3 medium garlic cloves, minced
- salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
- 3 whole canned roasted red bell peppers, cut into ½ inch strips
- 1 large ripe tomato, peeled, seeded and chopped
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 whole bay leaf
- ½ cup good red wine
- ½ cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Combine lamb and marinade ingredients in a large plastic zip bag. Let marinate in refrigerator for at least 3 hours. Drain and discard marinade. Pat lamb dry with paper towels.
- Heat the olive oil over medium high heat in a large heavy, deep skillet with a lid. Brown meat on all sides, about 10 minutes (you may need to do a few batches).
- Return all the meat to the skillet. Add onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook, scraping the browned bits on the bottom of the pan, until onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in paprika, peppers, tomatoes, parsley, bay leaf and red wine. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium, and simmer until juices reduce and begin to thicken (10 to 15 minutes)..
- Add chicken broth, cover and reduce heat to low. Let simmer for 2 to 2½ hours, stirring occasionally. Lamb should be very tender. Taste to adjust for seasonings.
Notes
- If preparing this recipe as GLUTEN FREE, just be sure to use a brand of chicken broth that is designated as GF.

I have also enjoyed this recipe for some time now. I got it from Elise’s website, Simply Recipes. My family loves it when this is on the menu with a great crusty sourdough boule and salad.
Hope your followers like it as much as my family and friends do!
