Serves: 2, Difficulty: Easy

Prep Time: 20 minutes, Cooking Time: 2 hours

Ingredients

300 grams lamb, diced
300 grams potatoes, peeled and diced
150 grams carrots, peeled and sliced
150 grams parsnips, peeled and sliced
100 grams onions, chopped
100 grams celery, sliced
500 ml water
2 grams thyme
2 grams salt
2 grams black pepper

Method

In a large pot, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat and brown the lamb pieces on all sides.
Remove the lamb and set aside. In the same pot, add onions and celery and sauté until they become translucent.
Return the lamb to the pot, add potatoes, carrots, and parsnips. Stir in the thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Pour in the water, ensuring all ingredients are submerged. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Cover and let the stew simmer on low heat for about 2 hours or until the lamb is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Adjust seasoning to taste and serve hot.

Tips

Cut the vegetables into even pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
For a thicker stew, remove the lid in the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the liquid to reduce.
Garnishing with fresh herbs, like parsley, can enhance the dish with a fresh aroma.
