Ingredients

2 pounds boneless leg of lamb, cubed
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
5 cups chicken broth
2 large carrots, sliced
2 large leeks, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, divided
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 large potatoes, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup butter, cubed

Directions

In a large Dutch oven, cook lamb and onions over medium heat in oil until meat is no longer pink. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually add broth. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Stir to remove browned bits from pan. Add the carrots, leeks, 1 tablespoon parsley, bay leaf, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper.
Spoon into a greased 3-qt. baking dish. Cover with potatoes and dot with butter. Bake at 375° for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is tender and the potatoes are golden brown. Discard bay leaf. Sprinkle with remaining parsley. Yield: 6-8 servings.
