Jamie Oliver’s 5 Ingredients Lamb Stew is a simple, slow-cooked dish made with lamb, root vegetables, herbs, and a flavorful liquid base. It requires minimal prep but delivers rich, complex flavors after a few hours of cooking.
Ingredients
-
- amb Shoulder (boneless, cut into chunks): 600g (about 1.3 lbs)
-
- Carrots: 3 large, peeled and chopped
-
- Onions: 2 medium, roughly chopped
-
- Fresh Rosemary: 4 sprigs

Instructions
Step 1: Sauté the Onions
-
- Heat Olive Oil: In a large pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
-
- Cook the Onions: Add the chopped onions and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and slightly golden.
Step 2: Brown the Lamb
-
- Add the Lamb: Stir in the chunks of lamb shoulder, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Brown the lamb on all sides, about 5-6 minutes, to develop a rich flavor.
Step 3: Add the Carrots and Rosemary
-

Step 4: Add the Stock

Step 5: Slow Cook the Stew
-
- Simmer and Cook: Cover the pot and let the stew simmer on low heat for 2-2.5 hours. Alternatively, transfer to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the lamb is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Step 6: Serve
-
- Check Seasoning and Serve: Taste the stew, adjusting the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot with your choice of sides.
