Slow Cooker Lamb Stew
Description
This Slow Cooker Lamb Stew recipe begins by lightly coating lamb pieces in salt, pepper, and flour, then browning them to develop a caramelized exterior flavor. The browned lamb, along with mushrooms, diced onion, garlic, vegetables, seasonings such as rosemary and bay leaf, red wine, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce, is transferred to a slow cooker. The stew simmers gently for several hours, allowing flavors to meld and the lamb to become tender.
The addition of peas late in cooking adds a pop of color and sweetness without overcooking. The resulting stew is rich and hearty, with tender meat and well-coated vegetables in a thickened sauce.
Serving garnished with fresh parsley and a little rosemary adds freshness and enhances aroma. This dish is suitable for comforting dinners and pairs nicely with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs leg of lamb trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1 1/2" pieces, boneless, or lamb shoulder
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste, sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 yellow onion diced, medium
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 1/2 cups red wine or broth
- 1 lb baby bella mushroom thickly sliced
- 2 cups beef broth low-sodium
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon rosemary finely chopped, fresh
- 1 1/2 lbs potato halved or quartered, red
- 3 carrot peeled and cut into 1/2" thick pieces, medium
- 2 celery chopped, ribs
- 1 cup peas frozen, sweet
Garnish:
- 1/4 cup parsley finely chopped
- rosemary fresh
Instructions
- Toss lamb meat with salt, pepper, and all-purpose flour in a large bowl.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
- Once the oil is hot, brown the lamb meat on each side for about 3-5 minutes. You may have to work in batches. This step is optional, but I suggest browning the meat as it locks in the flavor.
- Transfer all the ingredients to the Slow Cooker except green peas.
- Cover and cook on LOW heat for 7-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours.
- Add the green peas during the last hour of cooking.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm!
