👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F).
💡 プロのコツ: This slow cooking method ensures tender lamb.
2
Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof casserole dish or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb in batches until well-seared on all sides. Remove lamb and set aside.
3
Add the chopped onions to the dish and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Add the carrots and parsnips to the dish and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5
Return the lamb to the dish. Add the chicken stock, pearl barley, thyme sprigs, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
💡 プロのコツ: Ensure the lamb is mostly submerged in the liquid.
6
Bring the stew to a simmer on the stovetop, then cover the dish tightly with a lid or foil.
💡 プロのコツ: Skim off any impurities that rise to the surface.
7
Transfer to the preheated oven and cook for 1 hour.
8
Add the potatoes to the stew. Stir gently to incorporate. Cover again and continue to cook for another 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the lamb is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
💡 プロのコツ: The pearl barley will absorb liquid and help thicken the stew.
9
Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaves before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
💡 プロのコツ: Allow the stew to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
