Note

Ensure the lamb is cooked through before serving. Adjust cooking time based on the size of the lamb pieces.

For a richer flavor, let the stew simmer longer on low heat, checking occasionally to ensure it doesn't dry out.

This stew tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
