Lamb Stew

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb lamb stew meat
• 1 medium onion
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 lb potatoes
• 14.5 oz canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1.5 lb lamb stew meat in a single layer and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Work in batches if needed to avoid crowding.

2. 2

   Add 1 sliced onion and 1 chopped red bell pepper to the pot. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Pour in 14.5 oz canned diced tomatoes with their juices. Add 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Stir to combine.

4. 4

   Add 1 lb potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks. Add enough water to just cover the meat and vegetables (about 1 cup).

5. 5

   Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until lamb is tender and potatoes are cooked through, about 1.5 hours. Check occasionally, adding water if needed.

6. 6

   Uncover and simmer for 10 more minutes to thicken the sauce slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

7. 7

   Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
