Ingredients

• 2 pounds Lamb shoulder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Onion

• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 4 cups Low sodium beef broth
• 2 Bay leaves

Directions

Step 1

Trim excess fat from the lamb shoulder and cut it into 1.5-inch pieces.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb pieces in batches, ensuring each piece is evenly browned. Remove the lamb and set it aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Dice the onion and add it to the pot, cooking until it becomes translucent.

Step 4

Slice the carrots and celery. Mince the garlic. Add these to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing them to soften.

Step 5

Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Add them, along with browning lamb meat, to the pot.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste, allowing it to coat the vegetables and meat evenly.

Step 7

Pour in the low sodium beef broth, ensuring all ingredients are covered by the liquid.

Step 8

Add the bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper to the pot and stir well.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and allow the stew to gently simmer for about 2 hours. Stir occasionally.

Step 10

Chop the parsley and use it as a garnish just before serving.

Step 11

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, keeping in mind the low sodium requirement.

Step 12

Remove bay leaves before serving.
