Ingredients
-
1 1/2 lbs boneless lean lamb stew meat, cut in 1 inch cubes
-
1 teaspoon salt, divided
-
1/2 teaspoon pepper
-
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 teaspoons vegetable oil (I use olive)
-
1/2 teaspoon thyme
-
1 teaspoon rosemary, crushed
-
1 large onion, sliced thin
-
2 cups water
-
1 cup baby carrots (1/2 pound or as many as you want)
-
2 cups diced potatoes
-
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
Instructions
- Sprinkle lamb with 1/2 t salt and the pepper.
- Coat with flour.
- Heat oil in a 2 to 3 quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Brown lamb a few pieces at a time in the hot oil.
- Remove to crock pot with slotted spoon.
- Reduce heat to medium.
- Add onion and cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally until lightly browned.
- Stir in the water scraping up browned bits on bottom of pot.
- Transfer onion mixture to the crock pot; add carrots and potatoes.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, adding peas during the last 30 to 45 minutes.
- Note: I have also simmered this in the Dutch oven on the stove for 1 1/2 to 2 hours and it is very good.
