Delicious Lamb Ragout Recipe for a Hearty Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 2 lbs lamb shoulder, cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14 oz)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Sear the Lamb

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add lamb cubes and sear until browned on all sides.

    Do not overcrowd the pot to ensure even browning.
  2. Sauté Vegetables

    Add chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened.

    Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  3. Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.

    Choose a wine that you enjoy drinking for better flavor.
  4. Add Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in diced tomatoes, beef broth, thyme, cumin, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer.

    Make sure all ingredients are well combined.
  5. Simmer the Ragout

    Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours until the lamb is tender.

    Check occasionally and stir to avoid sticking.
  6. Serve

    Remove bay leaf and serve hot, garnished with parsley if desired.

    Pair with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal.
