Lowfat Crockpot Lamb Stew with Barley
What a great way to enjoy lamb.

Serves 6

Ingredients

Qty Unit Ingredient
1 1/2 lb Lamb shoulder - boneless, cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks
3/4 Tb Salt
2 Tb All purpose flour
2 Tsp Canola Oil
3 Leeks, trimmed to white and light green parts, halved lengthwise, cleaned and sliced
3 Tb Toamto paste
2 Can Beef broth - 14.5 oz each reduced sodium
1/2 C Pearl barley
4 Garlic cloves, minced
1 Tsp Thyme - dried
1 Turnip - large, peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
4 Carrots, cut into 1 inch chunks
2 Tb Parsley - fresh, chopped (optional)


Instructions

Lay lamb on a piece of wax paper; sprinkle with salt and flour, tossing to coat. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add lamb and cook until until browned, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes. When you are ready to assemble the crockpot, transfer the lamb to a 6 quart crockpot. In a skillet over low heat, add leeks, tomato paste, and 1 cup broth. Cook, stirring constantly to dissolve tomato paste. Scrape any browned bits off of the bottom of the skillet, and pour mixture over lamb in the crockpot. Add remaining broth, barley, garlic, and thyme. Mix well. Spread turnips and carrots over top in even layers. Cover, cooking on low 8 to 10 hours or on high 4 to 5 hours, until lamb and veggies are tender. Garnish each serving with parsley.
