👨🍳 Instrucciones
- 1
Season the lamb cubes 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 in batches until golden brown on all sides. Remove the lamb from the pot and set aside.
- 3
Add the chopped onions to the same pot and sauté until softened and lightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the grated or chopped tomatoes, and cook for 5 minutes, allowing them to break down.
- 5
Pour in the white wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze, loosening any browned bits. Let the wine simmer and reduce by half, about 3-5 minutes.
- 6
Return the browned lamb to the pot. Add the carrots, potatoes, bay leaf, chopped rosemary, and thyme. Pour in the broth, ensuring the ingredients are mostly submerged. Add more broth or water if needed.
- 7
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for at least 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the lamb is very tender.
- 8
Stir occasionally, and if the stew becomes too thick, add a little more broth or water. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- 9
Once the lamb is tender and the stew has thickened, remove the bay leaf. Serve hot, garnished with freshly shaved black truffle if desired.
