Description

A hearty and comforting stew featuring lamb, potatoes, and vegetables.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs lamb stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season lamb with salt and pepper.
