Move over beef; there is a new star in town that helps take stew to a new level. This Mediterranean Lamb Stew is full of nutritious, hearty, bold flavors that are perfect for a cold night. In addition, the stew is made in one pot, making it the perfect weeknight meal.

Mediterranean Lamb Stew is a rich stew full of warm spices and tender lamb. The flavors complement each other nicely, creating a comforting meal any time of the year. This lamb stew is amazing with a squirt of lemon juice right at the end.

Ingredients To Make Mediterranean Lamb Stew

Boneless Lamb Stew MeatThis recipe calls for 2 pounds of lamb. I used grass-fed, halal lamb from Open Nature.
Onion & GarlicThey will help to build amazing flavor and aroma.
CuminHas a nice meaty flavor and pairs perfectly with red meat.
Roasted TomatoesUnlike 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 BrothInstead of adding water, vegetable broth is going to add the cooked-all-day flavor we are looking for.
Other Essential IngredientsOlive oil, fresh mint, parsley, kosher salt, and pepper.

  2. Next, add the onion and garlic and saute over medium heat for about fifteen seconds. 
  3. Add in the cumin and fry for another fifteen seconds.

  5. Mix in he parsley and mint and partially cover the pot with a lid. Bring the liquid to a boil.

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

What cut of lamb is best for stew?

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.

What stock goes with lamb?

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.
