A rustic, slow-simmered stew featuring tender lamb, root vegetables, and fresh green beans—perfect for hearty homestead dinners.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb lamb shoulder or stew meat, cubed

  • Salt & fresh ground black pepper, to taste

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil (or vegetable oil)

  • 1 large onion, halved & sliced

  • 2-3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1/2-1 cup dry white wine or dry vermouth (optional)

  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste

  • 4 cups low-sodium broth (chicken or beef)

  • 2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary (or 1/2 tsp dried)

  • 8 carrots, diagonally sliced

  • 2 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled & chunked

  • 1 lb green beans, trimmed and blanched

  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed

Instructions

  1. Prep the lamb: Season with salt and pepper, dredge in flour, shaking off excess.

  2. Brown meat: Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown lamb in batches for 3–4 minutes per batch. Remove and set aside.

  3. Sauté aromatics: Add onion to the same pot and cook ~3–5 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.

  4. Deglaze: Pour in wine/vermouth and stir to loosen browned bits. Stir in tomato paste.

  5. Simmer base: Return lamb and any juices to the pot. Add broth and rosemary. Bring to a simmer, cover, and simmer gently for 1 hour.

  6. Add root veggies: Add carrots and potatoes. Simmer, covered, for 25–30 minutes, until vegetables are tender.

  7. Finish with greens: Stir in blanched green beans and peas for 5 minutes to warm through. Remove rosemary sprigs before serving.

Equipment

Notes

  • Make‑ahead: Up to step 5 can be done 1–2 days ahead; add veggies and finish before serving.

  • Guinness twist: Substitute beer for wine/vermouth and add Worcestershire sauce for Irish-style stew.

  • Thicken sauce: Mash a few potato chunks into the broth or stir in a flour slurry.

  • Gluten-free option: Use GF flour or cornstarch.

  • Vegetarian swap: Replace lamb with hearty mushrooms or beans, and use vegetable broth.
