Stewing Lamb

Stewing Lamb is a moist cooking method where dishes are often prepared with tougher cuts of lamb that have been cut in small pieces. Also, stewing is a technique where small meat pieces are cooked gently in liquid to completely cover the meat and vegetables, if desired. There are many variations of lamb stew including recipes that are basically the same as beef stew except that lamb is used instead of beef. Other types of lamb stew include a variety of lamb dishes native to the Mediterranean and Middle East.

• Many of the same lamb cuts that are suitable for braising are ideal as lamb stew meat.
   
• Stewing tenderizes the lamb meat and allows the flavors of the ingredients to blend.
   
• When stewing, cuts from the lamb shoulder and lamb flank are often used as well as other meat from the lamb.
