Lamb And Pearl Barley Stew

This simple comforting Irish inspired lamb and pearl barley stew recipe will warm you up with its chewy and hearty barley, soft cooked vegetables, and tender and flavorful lamb.

This lamb and barley stew recipe is ready in ~ 30-45 minutes but can also be braised in the slow cooker / crock-pot on low for 8 hours.

INGREDIENTS

- boneless lamb shoulder - vegetable oil - onion - carrots - celery

Dice lamb shoulder into bite size pieces and lightly salt and pepper.

1

Bring a large pot (I prefer a 6 quart dutch oven) to medium high heat and add the lamb in batches (overcrowding the pan will cause the lamb to steam & not brown).

2

Sear 6-8 minutes or until brown. Remove lamb from pan with slotted spoon (leaving any drippings in pan) and set aside.

3

Add onions, carrots, and celery to the pan. Reduce heat and cook 5-7 minutes or until veggies are soft and translucent.

4

Add garlic and cook 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. Add a little olive oil if pot is dry.
