Ingredients
- 2 lb lamb
- 1 medium head cabbage
- 1 large white onion
- 6 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons light olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 2 leaves bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons parsley flakes
Instructions
- 1Cut the lamb into 1-2 inch cubes. Season generously with salt, white pepper, and garlic powder.
- 2Heat light olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb in batches until browned on all sides. Remove the lamb from the pot and set aside.
- 3Add the chopped white onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the shredded or chopped cabbage and cook until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes more.
- 4Return the lamb to the pot with the vegetables. Add the low sodium chicken broth, ensuring the lamb is mostly submerged. Add dried rubbed sage and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and braise for at least 2 hours, or until the lamb is very tender. Check the liquid level periodically and add more broth if needed.
- 5Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper as needed.
- 6Serve the Cabbage and Lamb Stew hot. Garnish with fresh parsley flakes.
