Directions
- Using cheese cloth and butcher twine, make a sachet of the bay leaf, peppercorns, parsley stems, and thyme (or put everything in the pot loose).
- Mix together the butter & ¼ cup of the flour until well incorporated; set aside.
- Season the lamb with salt & pepper.
- Heat an Anolon Advanced 12 Inch/ 5 Quart Covered Sauté over med-high to high heat. Add the lamb and brown on all sides, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, carrot, potato, and garlic. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring often. Return the lamb to the pan along with the flour & cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Pour in the stock, wine & the sachet. Reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Cook, uncovered, for about 1-1 ½ hours or place in a 350°F oven with the lid cracked for 1 – 1 ½ hours stirring occasionally, until the meat is nice & tender. Remove the sachet, whisk in chunks of the butter & flour mixture. Continue to whisk for a minute or two until the stew has thickened.
