Delicious Navarin of Lamb Recipe for a Hearty Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 lbs lamb shoulder, cut into chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups carrots, sliced
  • 2 cups turnips, diced
  • 1 cup potatoes, diced
  • 1 teaspoon thyme, dried
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Brown the Lamb

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add lamb chunks and brown on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.

    Don't overcrowd the pot; brown in batches if necessary.
  2. Sauté Aromatics

    Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

    Stir frequently to prevent garlic from burning.
  3. Add Broth and Vegetables

    Pour in vegetable broth and add carrots, turnips, and potatoes. Stir to combine.

    Ensure vegetables are submerged in the broth.
  4. Season the Stew

    Add thyme and bay leaf to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.

    Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired.
  5. Simmer

    Reduce heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, until lamb is tender.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
