How To Cook Lamb Stew With Carrots And White Beans

If you have been making stews, you know that stews are very versatile. There are tons of different stews you can make, stews with beef, with lamb, and with other meats. Here is Lamb, Chickpeas and Beef Stew Recipe and here is Beef Stew Recipe With Mushrooms.

I like lamb stews, as lamb is a very flavorful meat, and lamb stews are also very flavorful. Since lamb meat can have a bit of fat in it, it is great to make lamb stew with vegetables and beans. Vegetables and beans cooked together with lamb meat and a bit of fat really take on the flavor and become very delicious.

So if you want to make a very delicious stew, and at the same time make a stew that has vegetables, this lamb stew recipe is a great recipe to make. This lamb stew has onions, celery, carrots and beans, a great combination of meat and vegetables.

I haven’t used celery in a stew before, but I saw some stew recipes using celery, and wanted to try that. Turns out that celery is great in a stew, and it adds more flavor to the stew.

Here is a shortcut when making this lamb stew recipe – you don’t have to cook the white beans from scratch. A can of white beans is perfectly fine to use in this recipe. As you are going to cook the beans with lamb and other vegetables, you won’t really notice that the white beans were from a can.

To make this lamb stew recipe, you will also need lamb. I used a lamb shoulder cut with bones, and it was great in a stew. Another great thing about stews is that because you cook them for some time, you can use cheaper cuts of meat in a stew.

What can you serve with this lamb stew? You can serve it with mashed potatoes or mashed rutabaga. And don’t forget a vegetable or a salad, such as Garlic and Broccoli Rabe or Green Bean Salad With Red Onions, Walnuts, Parsley, Red Wine Vinaigrette.

To make this lamb stew, start by cutting lamb into pieces. Saute lamb for a few minutes, then add onions and saute for a few more minutes. Add some water to cover the meat. Reduce the heat and simmer the lamb for a 2-2.5 hours, until the lamb is cooked.

Add carrots and celery and continue simmering the stew, until the carrots are cooked. Open a can of white beans, wash them and add them to the stew. Cook for 5-10 more minutes. To serve, arrange the stew on a dinner plate and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
