Ingredients To Make Mediterranean Lamb Stew
| Boneless Lamb Stew Meat | This recipe calls for 2 pounds of lamb. I used grass-fed, halal lamb from Open Nature. |
| Onion & Garlic | They will help to build amazing flavor and aroma. |
| Cumin | Has a nice meaty flavor and pairs perfectly with red meat. |
| Roasted Tomatoes | Unlike regular tomatoes, fire-roasted tomatoes are going to give it a nice smoky flavor. However, if you are unable to find fire-roasted, use what you can find. |
| Vegetable Broth | Instead of adding water, vegetable broth is going to add the cooked-all-day flavor we are looking for. |
| Other Essential Ingredients | Olive oil, fresh mint, parsley, kosher salt, and pepper. |

Storage Tips
Serve: Serving this soup with lemon wedges is optional, but the acid helps brighten the stew’s flavors. You can keep the stew out for about two hours before it needs to be stored and refrigerated.
Store: Store the stew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
Freeze: Once cooled, place the lamb stew in a freezer-safe container or zipper-top bag and freeze for up to three months.
Defrost: Defrost at room temperature for 4-5 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
Reheat: Place the stew in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until warm.
Recipe FAQs
The shoulder is the best cut of meat to use for stew. Slice it into cubes to add to the stew. Otherwise, purchase grass-fed boneless lamb stew meat.
I prefer the flavors of vegetable broth to go with this lamb stew. However, you could substitute another broth if you do not have vegetable broth.
