Step by Step Method

Step 1

Toss the lamb in the flour.

Step 2

Dry fry the bacon in a large flameproof casserole. Add the butter and the lamb and fry until browned all over, stirring. Remove the lamb and bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 3

Add the onions, carrots, turnip and celery to the casserole and saute for 5-10 minutes until they are beginning to brown.

Step 4

Return the lamb to the casserole, add the pearl barley and herbs and pour in the stock.

Step 5

Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent it sticking, until the lamb is tender.

Step 6

Serve hot, sprinkled with chopped parsley.

This was very tasty. I replaced turnips with 3 diced potatoes, otherwise made as written.

Excellent stew! My stew was slighly different as written as when I went to make it I was out of barley. Then I replaced the turnips with red potato. And last, I cooked the whole thing in the slow cooker after browning the lamb in the bacon fat. I also added a cup of the lamb stock. Delicious! We had bought a leg of lamb that we had the butcher slice into steaks which were tough, so I knew I wanted to try to tenderize them in a stew and this recipe did just that. I used a combo of rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano and marjoram. Thank you for posting! Its going in my cookbook Best of Zazz 2014.
