Instructions

Step 1

Combine ingredients in a 5-qt. dutch oven with 2¼ cups water. Cover pot with aluminum foil and then with the pot lid to create a tight seal. Cook over medium-low heat, shaking dutch oven occasionally, until the lamb and potatoes are tender and the juices have thickened slightly, about 2½ hours.
