Ingredients

• 500 grams boneless lamb shoulder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 3 medium carrots
• 2 medium parsnips
• 2 celery stalks
• 2 medium potatoes
• 4 cups low-sodium beef stock
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup frozen peas

Directions

Step 1

Trim the lamb shoulder of any visible fat and cut the meat into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the lamb cubes and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the lamb from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

Chop the onion and garlic finely. Slice the carrots and parsnips into 1/2-inch pieces. Dice the celery stalks and potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the carrots, parsnips, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes to soften the vegetables slightly.

Step 6

Return the lamb to the pot. Add the beef stock, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients.

Step 7

Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is tender and the flavors deepen.

Step 8

Taste the stew and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add the frozen peas and cook for another 10 minutes until the peas are heated through.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf before serving. Serve hot and enjoy your low-fat hearty lamb stew!
