Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 3 pounds lamb
• 1-1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/3 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 large tomato, seeded and chopped
• 5 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 2 bay leaves
• 6 carrots, sliced
• 6 potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
• 1 package (about 10 ounces) frozen peas

1. Rinse lamb meat under running water. Dry with paper towel then cut meat into 1-1/2 inches cubes.

2. Brown lamb cubes in a pot with vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add flour. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and continue cooking.

3. Turn heat up to high. Cook until browned. Pour in the beef broth and wait to a boil. When boiling, add crushed garlic cloves, bay leaves, thyme, and chopped tomato. Again, bring to a boil then lower the heat. Cover, simmer for 40 to 45 minutes.

4. While the lamb is simmering, melt butter in a skillet and saute diced potatoes, sliced carrots, and chopped onion. Sprinkle contents with sugar. Cook for 1 minute, stirring.

5. Add skillet ingredients to the lamb mixture. Simmer 45 minutes more, or until the root vegetables are tender. Add frozen peas a few minutes before done cooking. Great over cooked rice and pasta.
