Ingredients
  

  • For the Stew
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds lamb shoulder cut into 1½-inch cubes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 medium carrots sliced
  • 3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes cut into chunks
  • 2 cups fresh green beans trimmed and halved
  • 2 celery stalks sliced
  • 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

  1. Season the lamb generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  3. Brown the lamb in batches for about 6 to 8 minutes, then transfer it to a plate.
  4. Add the onion and celery to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
  5. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  6. Mix in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
  7. Return the lamb to the pot.
  8. Add the diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, and bay leaves.
  9. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
  10. Add the potatoes and carrots, then continue cooking for 30 minutes.
  11. Stir in the green beans and simmer for another 15 to 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the lamb is fork-tender.
  12. Remove the bay leaves.
  13. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Brown the lamb well for the richest flavor.
  • Simmer gently rather than boiling to keep the meat tender.
  • Cut the vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
  • The stew thickens naturally as it rests.
