Add the lamb pieces to the pot and brown them on all sides. Remove the lamb and set aside. Season with salt and pepper.

Add the sliced carrots to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes until slightly softened.

Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Simmer gently for about 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the lamb is very tender.

Once the lamb is tender, remove the rosemary sprigs. If the sauce is too thin, increase the heat and boil uncovered for a few minutes to reduce it slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
