This fantastic Mediterranean Lamb Stew Recipe is filled with tender chunks of boneless lamb, fire-roasted tomatoes, spices, and aromatic herbs like mint and parsley. Perfect for cold, cozy nights.
I am going to be honest with you. I think lamb taste gamey. Some may say it’s an acquired taste. The hubby loves it—while I shy away from it.
However, this stew is SO tasty. I added a special ingredient that really balances the pungent flavor of lamb.
The secret ingredient is lemon. That’s right, lemon. Think about it, fish is… well, fishy. Not that I don’t enjoy the taste of fish by all means. Needless to say, fish is better with lemon. Same concept.
Without a doubt, this lamb stew recipe is amazing with a squirt of lemon juice right at the end.
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 have access to. |
| 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. |
I am so excited for you to make this Mediterranean Lamb Stew recipe!
