👨🍳 Fremgangsmåde
- 1
Pat the lamb cubes dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- 2
Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove the browned lamb and set aside.
- 3
Add the quartered onions to the pot and sauté until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the whole garlic cloves and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Return the browned lamb to the pot. Add the carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, and green bell peppers. Sprinkle with paprika.
- 5
Pour in the water or beef broth. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for at least 2 hours, or until the lamb is very tender.
- 6
Check the stew periodically and add more liquid if it seems too dry. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- 7
Once the lamb is tender and the vegetables are cooked through, remove from heat. Let the stew rest for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
- 8
Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley. Jahnija is traditionally served with crusty bread.
