apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Yet, I find the mix of just artichoke and lamb to be very heavy, so I modified the recipe by adding carrot and green peas.

Artichoke and Lamb Stew
serves 4-6

1 pound lamb
8-10 small or 4-6 big peeled artichoke hearts, cut into 4-6 pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped in half rounds
1 pound fresh green peas or 1 can green peas
1/2 bunch dill, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil or 4 tbsp butter
1 1/2 tbsp flour
juice of 1 1/2 lemon
1 tsp sugar
water
salt

Soak chopped artichoke hearts in a bowl with lemon juice until you cook them. Otherwise, they will darken.

Heat olive oil or butter in a broad pot and add lamb. Stir for a couple of minutes until it's cooked on each side. Add onion and carrot. Stir until onion is softened. Add flour and stir for another minutes. Add artichoke, green peas, lemon juice, sugar, and salt. Add water to barely cover vegetables. Bring to a boil, and then cover and simmer on low for almost an hour.

Add dill after your turn it off.

Serve with rice.
