This recipe for Lamb Stew is such an easy dinner recipe idea. It's a traditional German "Eintopf" (one-pot) meal.
Taken from my Mutti's hand-written cookbook and translated into English, I hope you'll find this easy lamb recipe one that you'll add to your favourites as well.
Use a lean cut, such as the shoulder or leg or lamb or buy stewing lamb already cut up to make this go quicker. Both lamb and mutton are covered with a papery white membrane which should be removed before cooking. This membrane, if left in place, gives a strong gamey flavour.
Serve this stew with a great crusty German bread and you've got a traditional and easy German meal.
