Ingredients

• 2 pounds Lamb shoulder, boneless
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 Onion, large, diced
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 Celery stalks, chopped
• 2 medium Turnips, peeled and diced
• 2 cups Green cabbage, roughly chopped
• 4 cups Beef bone broth (or lamb broth)
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat off the lamb shoulder and cut it into roughly 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Season the lamb cubes with salt and black pepper, then sear them in batches until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Transfer the browned lamb to a plate and set aside.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion to the pot. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped celery and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 7

Return the seared lamb to the pot and pour in the bone broth, ensuring the lamb is fully covered. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Add the diced turnips and sprigs of fresh thyme to the stew. Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Add the chopped cabbage to the pot and continue simmering for an additional 20-30 minutes until the lamb is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the thyme sprigs and taste the stew, adjusting the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Serve the stew hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
