Ingredients
- 2 pounds lamb (cut into 1" pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (vegetable oil or avocado oil may be used)
- 2 large onions (halved then sliced)
- 3 carrots (peeled and sliced)

- ¼ cup fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F

- SUBSTITUTIONS: Use any favorite potato variety including baby potatoes; sub beef or veal for the lamb - or use a combination; see the ingredient suggestions and variation tips in the post for more suggestions.
- TOP TIPS: Eliminate the flour if you prefer a less thick broth or can't consume it due to dietary restrictions; to save time you do not have to sear the lamb or caramelize the vegetables. Add lamb, vegetables, flour, thyme, salt, and pepper and stir all together. Add stock and remaining ingredients then braise in the oven.
- SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve with a side of crusty bread, rolls, or breadsticks. If you want more vegetables serve it with a simple green salad.
