Hungarian Lamb Stew
A sheepherder's fair is held every July in Powder River, Wyoming, and one of the events is a lamb/mutton stew cook-off. I experimented with this recipe for about a year, but it was worth the effort - I won first place!
Ingredients
- 3 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
- 2 pounds lamb stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons Hungarian paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 medium green pepper, sliced, divided
- 1 medium sweet red pepper, sliced, divided
- 1 cup water
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 1 large tomato, sliced

I have been trying to find the perfect winter stew for years, and I thin I've found it here. Thanks for the experimenting to perfect this recipe. The meat is tender and it's a really delicious sauce. I added carrot and celery (out of habit) and I think it would work fine with most combinations of vegetables- as long as the capsicums are in there. Going back for seconds...
