👨🍳 作り方
- 1
Pat the lamb cubes dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Sear on all sides until deeply browned, then remove the lamb to a plate.
💡 プロのコツ: Browning the lamb in batches is crucial for developing deep flavor. - 2
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onions to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, about 8-10 minutes. Add the carrots, swede, and parsnips, and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring to coat them in the lamb drippings.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
- 4
Add the tomato paste and stir it into the vegetables and flour mixture. Cook for another minute.
- 5
Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Let it simmer and reduce slightly for 2-3 minutes.

Return the browned lamb and any accumulated juices to the pot. Pour in the beef or lamb stock, ensuring the meat and vegetables are mostly submerged. Add the fresh thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Bring the stew to a gentle simmer.
💡 プロのコツ: Ensure the liquid covers the meat and vegetables; add more stock or water if needed. - 7
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and cook for at least 2 hours, or until the lamb is fork-tender and the vegetables are soft. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
💡 プロのコツ: Low and slow cooking is key to tender lamb. - 8
Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. If the stew is too thin, you can simmer it uncovered for a further 10-15 minutes to thicken.

Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
💡 プロのコツ: Serve with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
