Return the browned lamb to the pot. Add the beef or lamb broth, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.

Add the cubed potatoes and rinsed millet to the pot. Stir well, cover, and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the millet is cooked through and has absorbed most of the liquid.
