Slow Cooker Recipe
Herbed Lamb Stew
Lamb isn’t exactly a fixture in North American kitchens, but in other parts of the world lamb, mutton, and even goat are commonly-used meats. Lamb may be fattier and more strongly flavored than you are used to, and it can be difficult to find and expensive to purchase. Those are the disclaimers.
Now for the raves. Once you’ve developed an appreciation for lamb, you’ll always be on the lookout for ways to prepare it. The possibilities are endless: tiny lamb chops on the grill, roasted rack of lamb, lamb kabobs, and of course, lamb stew. Here is a hearty stew that simmers in your slow cooker all day. The gravy is thick and richly flavored, and the chunks of lamb are tender.
Dig in, and imagine yourself in distant and exotic lands. Perhaps you could follow the meal with a showing of Lawrence of Arabia.
