The lamb here isn’t just tender—it melts in your mouth! This recipe is an adaptation of a stew my mother used to make while I was growing up in England. Now I round it out with local root vegetables. —Maureen Evans, Rancho Cucamonga, California

Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 pounds lamb stew meat, cubed
2 shallots, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup red wine
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) beef broth
2 medium potatoes, cubed
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
2 large carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 medium parsnips, peeled and cubed
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon mint jelly
4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
Minced fresh mint, optional

Directions

In a large shallow dish, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Add the meat, a few pieces at a time, and turn to coat. In a large skillet, brown meat and shallots in oil in batches.
Transfer to a 5- or 6-qt. slow cooker. Add wine to the skillet, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 1-2 minutes. Add to slow cooker.
Stir in the broth, potatoes, sweet potato, carrots, parsnips and garlic. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until meat is tender. Stir in jelly; sprinkle with bacon. If desired, sprinkle with fresh mint before serving.
