Preparation
  1. Start by cutting the lamb shoulder into bite-sized chunks. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  2. Dice the potatoes, slice the carrots, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
Cooking
  1. In your crockpot, layer the potatoes, carrots, and onions on the bottom. Add your lamb on top, followed by the minced garlic.
  2. Pour in the beef or lamb broth, and add the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle thyme and rosemary over all.
  3. Set the crockpot on low and let it simmer for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
  4. About 30 minutes before serving, taste your stew and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
  5. Serve warm in deep bowls, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

You can refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, consider freezing portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. To reheat, warm it up on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of broth if it seems a bit thick.
