Italian Lamb Stew

By: Juanita/Jane

"This lamb stew is a lighter version of more traditional recipes, but still provides the comfort of those heartier stews. It is a great way to make use of those extra vegetables from your garden. Serve with crusty rolls."

Original Recipe Yield 6 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
5 cloves garlic, sliced thin
1/2 cup red wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
4 cups peeled, chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 bay leaf
4 potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 small zucchini, sliced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large, heavy-bottomed pot. Season the lamb with salt and pepper; cook in the hot oil until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic; cook and stir 1 minute. Pour the red wine and chicken broth into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Reduce the heat to medium-low; add the tomatoes, oregano, and bay leaf to the pot. Simmer gently until the lamb is tender, about 45 minutes.
Raise heat to medium-high. Add the potatoes, green beans, red pepper, and zucchini to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are tender, another 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle the parsley over the soup. Remove the bay leaf and season with salt and pepper before serving.
