👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F).
💡 プロのコツ: This low and slow cooking method ensures tender lamb.
2
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb cubes on all sides in batches. Remove lamb and set aside.
3
Add chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
Stir in the sliced carrots, tomato paste, and paprika. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
5
Return the lamb to the pot. Add red wine, beef broth, prunes, apricots, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf. Season with salt and black pepper.
6
Bring the stew to a simmer, then cover the pot tightly and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the lamb is very tender.
7
Remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaf before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
💡 プロのコツ: This stew can be made a day ahead and reheated; the flavors meld beautifully.
