OMG! Italian Style Rich lamb stew with honey and caramelised onion
The best stew you will ever taste. This slow braising method fuses the ingredients together leaving you with an incredible tender, moist and rich flavoured meat.
Lamb is becoming a more fashionable red meat as it’s a healthier meat as it contains many vitamins, minerals and B12. Try and buy grass fed and it will also have the heart healthy omega 3 fatty acids.
But enough about health, this recipe is about taste. If you like those rich casserole stews, then look further, this is a complete meal cooked in one pot. The slow cooking process tenderises the meat and develops the flavour.
A complete meal because it has carrots, peas, potatoes all built in. The best part is that it will taste even better the next day, so make a big pot. It’s also easy to freeze for ready made meals when you’re short on time. I usually place them in glass storage containers and then microwave them or add a splash of water in a saucepan and reheat on very low heat.
For the wine, make sure you buy a full bodied wine, like a shiraz or cabernet sauvignon. Do not go crazy on the price but don’t skimp either, the quality of the wine will affect the sauce. It is a red wine sauce after all.
As an option, I like to serve it with a crusty toasted bread, rubbed with a clove of garlic for that extra flavour. This is of course optional. Sprinkle some freshy chopped parsley or you can even use the celery leaves to add colour and freshness before serving.

My Instant Pot: (affiliate)
Olive Oil & Shop:
Print the recipe here:
Ingredients
4-5 pounds (about 2 kg) leg of lamb cuts
about 24 shallots, peeled
1/2 cup olive oil
4-5 garlic cloves, grated
2-3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
2 cups water
about 30 oz (850g) crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon honey
2 bay leaves
1 cinnamon stick
6-10 stole peppercorns
6 allspice berries
about 2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
freshly cracked black pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
Season the lamb with salt and pepper on both sides.
Set the Instant Pot to the Saute setting and add 1/4 cup of olive oil. Brown the meat for about 5 minutes on each side in a few batches. Adding all of the meat at once will steam the meat instead of brown it.
Add the balsamic vinegar and the water to deglaze the pot. Place all of the meat back into the pot along with the tomatoes, and all of the seasonings except the oregano.
Set the Instant Pot to the High Pressure setting for 25 minutes. Make sure that the vent is set to the sealed position.
Allow the machine to Naturally Release the pressure for 15 minutes and then open the valve to release the remaining pressure.
While the meat is cooking preheat the oven to 425 °F, 220 °C.
Place the shallots onto a baking pan and drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Season them with salt and pepper and roast until golden and tender. About 25 minutes.
Add the shallots to the pot and set it to the saute setting until the sauce has thickened. About 10 minutes.
Add the oregano and taste the sauce. Add more salt if needed.
Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or bread and a salad.

Greek Style Roast Leg of Lamb (Perfect for your Easter Table!!)
Printable Recipe:
Ingredients
1 leg of lamb, bone-in, about 7-8 pounds
10 or more garlic cloves, cut into slivers
2 onions, quartered
salt (about a half teaspoon per pound)
freshly ground black pepper
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
1 cup of water
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons dried crushed oregano,
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F, 180 °F.
Use a sharp knife to cut slits into the leg of lamb. Stick the garlic slivers into the slits.
Place the lamb in a large roasting pan.
Combine the lemon juice and olive oil together and pour it all over the lamb. Season the lamb on both sides with salt, pepper, and oregano.
Add the rosemarry sprigs and the onions to the pan. Pour the water into the pan.
Cover the lamb with a sheet of parchment paper and then tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake for 3-4 hours or until the meat is soft and almost falling off the bone.
Remove the foil and parchment and place the pan back into the oven and onto the middle rack. Turn the broiler element on and broil for 5-10 minutes or until the top is golden. Keep a close eye on it so that the lamb does not burn.
Serve with roasted lemony potatoes, tzatztki, and Mediterranean Rice pilaf. Enjoy and Kali Orexi!
Notes
Marinate the meat and insert the garlic cloves the day before serving. Keep it refrigerated and allow the meat to come to room temperature before roasting.

Greek Fall-off the Bone Lamb Shanks (Braised in a delicious sauce)
Get the recipe here:
Ingredients
4 lamb shanks
1/4 cup olive oil
2 carrots
2 celery stalks
3-4 potatoes
1 onion
6 garlic cloves, grated
15-oz crushed tomatoes
3-4 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
4-5 cups water or broth
1 and 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1 heaping teaspoon dried oregano
2 rosemary sprigs
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 Bay leaves
2-4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F, 180 °C.
Season the lamb on both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Place a cast-iron (enamel coated) pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and brown the lamb shanks on all sides. Do this in 1-2 batches. Set the lamb aside.
While the lamb is browning, prepare the vegetables. Peel and roughly chop the onion and potatoes. Chop the carrots and celery.
Add the vegetables to the pot with a pinch of salt and cook until golden. About 7-8 minutes over medium heat.
Add the garlic and warm through until fragrant.
Add the balsamic, tomato sauce, the herbs and spices. Place the lamb on top and cover with water or broth. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the lid on the pot and transfer to the preheated oven.
Allow the lamb to cook for about 3 hours or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
Carefully remove the lamb from the pot and set aside in a platter. Remove the vegetables as well. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Place the pot over medium-high heat and allow the sauce to reduce and thicken to your desired cinsistency. I like to mash a potato into the sauce at the beginning to help thicken it.
Add the lemon juice and either place the lamb back into the pot to warm through or serve the sauce on top.
