I think it’s safe to say Lamb Stew is one of life’s best pleasures, and in this lamb stew recipe, I will teach you how to make lamb that melts in your mouth, accompanied with potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and many more.
The beauty about this recipe is it’s a one-pot meal, is that you put everything in one pot which then cooks and comes together, tasting magnificent in the end.
The main things I personally think makes the dish so great is a good cut of lamb, which is chopped into small bites, plain flour which helps to thicken the lamb stock when it forms, oh and the red wine – which gives the lamb stew such a delicious yet sophisticated taste. Although it’s a homemade dish, it also tastes like it was made in an authentic high class restaurant.
On Easter Sunday, I made this lamb stew recipe for my family. I bought my lamb shank from Aldi the day before, and then cut it into small chunks and marinated it over night. My parents absolutely loved it – they’ve named me a lamb stew connoisseur. Particularly, my mom mentioned that she loves how the lamb just melts in your mouth. They also felt like all the spices worked together too.
The lamb stew is a perfect recipe to bring the family together as it is very delicious. Today, you will be learning how to cook a delicious homemade lamb stew recipe that will bring smiles to everyone’s faces at the dinner table.

- 1 cube of lamb or beef stock
- 4 stems of fresh thyme (from my garden). If you don’t have fresh thyme, just use thyme in spice bottles.
- 1 tablespoon of sage
- 1 tablespoon of plain white flour

2. Next, stir the spices together into the lamb. Now, you can do this the day before and leave the lamb to marinate over night, which makes it even tastier, or you can spice your lamb 15 mins before cooking and just cook it.
