Instructions

In a large dutch oven or soup pot, add the diced bacon and cook over medium-high heat until crispy. Leave the bacon grease in the pot and place the cooked bacon to a plate.
Pat the meat dry with paper towels and sprinkle each piece with salt, garlic powder, and pepper. (I like to massage it into each piece).
Then sprinkle the lamb with flour and toss until coated completely.
In the same dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat and sear each of the lamb pieces for about 2-3 minutes each side. Don't overcrowd the pot. Cook batches if necessary. Add another tablespoon oil to the dutch oven between with each batch as needed. Place the cooked lamb pieces on a plate and set aside.
In the same pot, add the onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until it is translucent.
Add in the garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
Next, add in the broth, wine, tomato paste, thyme leaves, and bay leaves and stir.
Place the seared lamb and bacon back to the pot and bring to a boil.
Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes until the meat begins to get tender.
After 1 ½ hours, add the potatoes and carrots and cover with the sauce.
Cover again and simmer for an additional 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender.
Stir in the green peas and let it cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired.
Enjoy over mashed potatoes, rice or egg noodles. If serving it over mashed potatoes, you can leave out the added potatoes. Serve with crusty bread.

Notes

Use any wine like merlot, cabernet sauvignon or pinot noir.
You can also swap the red wine for Guinness beer or other dark ale to make this an Irish Lamb Stew.
To thicken the stew, make a cornstarch slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water, stir it into the sauce and cook until it thickens.
To thin the sauce, stir in ¼ cup of beef broth at a time until desired consistency.
If you can’t find lamb shoulder, you can swap it for lamb stew meat, lamb legs or shanks. You can use bone-in or boneless. The bone-in meat will fall off the bone when it's finished cooking.
Skim any fat or foam that floats on top when cooking to make it a less oily sauce.
Allow to cool and store leftovers in an airtight container for 4-5 days.
