👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Season the lamb pieces generously with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb pieces on all sides until well-colored. Remove the lamb from the pot and set aside.
- 2
Add the chopped onions and leeks to the same pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Return the browned lamb to the pot. Add the diced carrots, swede, rinsed pearl barley, bay leaves, and beef stock. Stir to combine.
- 4
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for at least 2 hours, or until the lamb is very tender and the barley is cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Remove the bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Stir in most of the chopped fresh parsley.

Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with the remaining fresh parsley.
