Sear each batch for about 5-6 minutes until all sides are browned. Remove and set aside on a plate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Step 2: Saut\u00e9 the Vegetables<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onions. Saut\u00e9 for about 3-4 minutes or until they begin to soften and become translucent.<\/li>\n<li>Stir in the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Step 3: Combine Ingredients<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Return the seared lamb to the pot with the vegetables. Add the tomato paste, stirring to coat the lamb and veggies evenly.<\/li>\n<li>Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom, then let it simmer for about 2 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Add the beef or lamb stock, followed by the cubed potatoes, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaf.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Step 4: Simmer the Stew<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and the flavors have melded together.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Step 5: Thicken the Stew (Optional)<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>If you&#8217;d like a thicker stew, mix the 2 tablespoons of flour with a small amount of water to create a slurry. Stir it into the stew about 20 minutes before the cooking is finished.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Step 6: Season and Finish<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Once the lamb is tender, season the stew with salt and pepper to your taste. Discard the bay leaf.<\/li>\n<li>Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of fresh flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Recipe Summary<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Preparation Time:<\/strong> 30 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cook Time:<\/strong> 2 hours<\/li>\n<li><strong>Total Time:<\/strong> 2 hours 30 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Servings:<\/strong> 6<\/li>\n<li><strong>Calories per Serving:<\/strong> Approximately 420 kcal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This Lamb Stew with Potatoes is perfect for a cozy family dinner.
