• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the lamb cubes in batches to avoid overcrowding, browning them on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced carrots and celery to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to develop its flavor.

Step 7

Pour in the low-sodium beef broth and optional red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 8

Return the browned lamb cubes to the pot. Add the fresh rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, and ground black pepper. Stir thoroughly to combine.

Step 9

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cover with a lid, and reduce heat to low.

Step 10

Simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are well combined.

Step 11

After 1 hour, add the cubed potatoes to the pot, stirring them into the stew.

Step 12

Continue to cook for an additional 45-60 minutes, or until the lamb and potatoes are tender.

Step 13

Before serving, remove and discard the bay leaves. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 14

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm and enjoy your low sodium hearty stewed lamb.
