Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Pat the lamb pieces dry with paper towels and season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large casserole and saute the pieces, a few at a time, until they are lightly browned on all sides. Remove to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Pour off the fat.

  2. Step 2

    Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and saute the leeks, garlic and thyme until the leaves are soft.

  3. Step 3

    Return the lamb to the casserole and sprinkle on the flour, stirring vigorously to coat all the pieces of meat. Add wine and bring it to boil, stirring well and scraping off any pieces that have stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add chicken stock, cover and simmer gently, stirring occasionally for about an hour.

  4. Step 4

    Add potatoes and cook until they are tender. If more liquid is needed, add hot chicken stock or water. Correct seasoning, add parsley and serve.

I had quite a bit of rare leftover leg of lamb from Easter. I modified to just lightly brown the meat. I put the potatoes in (small yukon with skin on cut in half) when I put the meat back in per recipe. I cooked about an hour and it was delicious. I brightened up at the end with a little lemon juice. Thank you for the inspiration and a great way to use the leftover lamb.
