Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Season lamb with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.

02

Step
11 mins

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, shallot, and a pinch of salt; saute until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add lamb and brown for 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a slow cooker.

03

Step
0 mins

Add butternut squash, mushrooms, sweet potato, carrots, and celery; mix ingredients. Add bone broth and Marsala wine; it won't look like enough liquid but don't worry. Place rosemary and thyme on top.

04

Step
6 hrs

Cover and cook on High for 4 hours. Lift fresh herbs and stir the stew. Replace herbs, cover, and cook on Low until vegetables and lamb are tender, about 2 more hours.

05

Step
1 mins

Remove herbs before serving.

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.
