Ingredients

LAMB MARINADE

STEW

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!
