Here's a cozy and savory recipe perfect for any table, especially during the cooler seasons. This lamb stew, featuring Pure Pasture Farms' 100% grass-fed and finished lamb stew meat, is a celebration of sustainability and flavor. You'll need 2 lbs of lamb stew meat, seasoned with salt and pepper, and browned to perfection. The stew is enriched with olive oil, a hearty mix of onions, garlic, carrots, and potatoes, and simmered in a flavorful broth with a hint of red wine for depth, alongside rosemary and thyme for that aromatic touch. After a slow simmer, this dish transforms into a tender, rich stew that's both nourishing and deeply satisfying. Serve it up with crusty bread or over a bed of rice for a complete meal that not only warms the heart but also supports sustainable farming practices.

Ingredients
- (2 lbs) Lamb Stew Meat
Directions
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs Pure Pasture Farms lamb stew meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 4 cups beef or vegetable broth
- 1 cup red wine (optional)
- 1 teaspoon rosemary

Instructions:
- Season the Lamb: Season your lamb meat generously with salt and pepper.
- Brown the Lamb: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the lamb pieces and brown them on all sides. Remove the lamb and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, add the onion and garlic. Cook until softened.
- Deglaze: If using wine, add it now to deglaze the pot, scraping up the brown bits on the bottom.
