Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder
• 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 2 celery stalks, cut into chunks
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cups red wine
• 4 cups beef stock
• 4 fresh thyme sprigs
• 2 bay leaves
• 4 Yukon gold potatoes, quartered
• 1 cups frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the lamb shoulder into 2-inch chunks, trimming off excess fat.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Toss the lamb pieces in the flour mixture until evenly coated.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. In batches, sear the lamb pieces until browned on all sides. Remove the lamb and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onion, carrots, and celery until softened, about 5–7 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and tomato paste, stirring to combine. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let the wine reduce by half, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Return the lamb to the pot, then add the beef stock, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1 hour.

Step 8

After 1 hour, add the potatoes to the stew. Continue simmering, uncovered, for another 30–40 minutes, or until the lamb and potatoes are tender.

Step 9

Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 5 minutes until heated through.

Step 10

Discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
