Notes

Serving suggestions

  • Serve over rice. Basmati or Jasmine rice are great to serve Lamb Stew over. You can even serve it over our Authentic Spanish Rice; the flavors compliment each other. If you are making this recipe on Passover, quinoa makes a great substitute for rice.
  • Alongside pita. Serve the Lamb Stew hot in a bowl alongside warm pita. Use the pita to clean your bowl.
  • Spice it up. If you like the base lamb stew flavors but feel like it needs a touch of heat, add 1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes. Add more or less to adjust to your taste.
  • Beef stew recipe with apricots. Try this same recipe using beef stew bones instead of lamb stew bones.
  • French fries with lamb stew. If you have never tried it, start with this suggestion. Make a use french fries as a base and ladle the stew on. Use a fork and bring plenty of napkins!
  • Make it for Shabbat. Set the slow cooker to low just before candle lighting and serve lamb stew for Shabbat lunch.
