Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds lamb stew meat, or make your own from the shoulder, neck or shank.
- 1 carrot
- 1 stalk celery
- 1 onion
- 4 garlic cloves, or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crumbled
- 2 cups dry red wine
- salt and pepper 
 
This method turns the toughest cuts of lamb into fork-tender morsels in a rich-tasting sauce.
 
Directions

1

  • Trim off any excess fat and cut lamb into small cubes, about 3/4". Salt and pepper
    lightly. Finely dice the carrot, celery, onion and garlic.
  • Heat oil (medium-high) in Dutch
    oven or heavy saucepan with lid. Brown lamb in hot oil, in batches if necessary to prevent crowding.
    Remove meat, leaving browned bits. Let pan cool 1 minute, then add 1/2 cup water and stir to
    incorporate browned bits.
  • Add vegetables and cook, stirring, until the water has evaporated.
    Reduce heat to medium-low, sprinkle on the flour and rosemary and stir in. Add browned lamb and
    any accumulated juices. Add wine.
  • Adjust heat to maintain a simmer , cover, and cook 2 hours
    or until lamb is tender. Check occasionally to make sure there's enough liquid. Add water, if
    necessary, so there is about 1 cup of sauce when the meat is done. Taste for seasoning and serve
    with pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
