Instructions
Brown the Lamb
Heat olive oil in a large heavy pot over high heat. Season the lamb chunks with salt and pepper and brown them in batches without overcrowding the pan. This step builds the deep base flavor of the stew.
Saute the Aromatics
Lower the heat to medium and add onions and garlic to the same pot. Cook for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes to caramelize it slightly.
Build the Stew
Return the browned lamb to the pot and pour in the stock. Add the rosemary and stir everything together. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cover the pot.
Add Vegetables and Simmer
After 45 minutes of simmering add the carrots and potatoes. Continue cooking covered for another 45 minutes until the lamb is completely tender and the vegetables are soft. Check seasoning and adjust.
Finish and Serve
Remove the lid and let the stew simmer uncovered for 10 minutes to thicken the sauce. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes.
