Lamb stew with sherry and thyme is the perfect food stuff for the hard working man or woman. If you are active during the day, this recipe will fuel you up and is less expensive than gas!
Stuff You Will Need:
1 ½ lb of lamb stew meat, cubed to 1 inch and trimmed of fat
2-3 T olive oil
1 T butter
2 celery stalks, cut into ½ inch dice
2 carrots, peeled and cut into ½ inch dice
3-4 Yukon gold potatoes, cut into ½ inch dice (about 2 cups)
2 T fresh thyme
1 ½ c stock
½ c sherry
salt and pepper
1 T minced parsley
Instructions:
Place seasoned flour in a bowl. Dredge lamb in flour and shake off excess.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large sauté pan. Add lamb and sauté until just browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to Crock Pot and top with celery, carrots, potatoes, garlic, and thyme.
Place sauté pan back on heat and pour in the stock and ¼ c of sherry to deglaze the pan, using a wooden spoon to remove any caramelized bits from the pan. Pour into the Crock Pot.
Cook on high for 2 ½ - 3 hours, until lamb is tender.
½ hour before completion, add remaining sherry. Adjust seasonings and serve with a sprinkling of parsley.
