For a richer flavor, sear the lamb in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. If you don't have Marsala wine, you can substitute with dry red wine or sherry. Feel free to add other vegetables like parsnips or turnips for a heartier stew. Adjust the amount of thyme and rosemary to your liking, or add a bay leaf for extra depth of flavor. Serve over mashed potatoes or polenta for a complete meal.
