Food: Lamb Stew

While most families fight over the last decadent cupcake or buttery roll, our family has a tendency to fight over vegtables. To make everyone happy and to curb our cravings we make big stews with a high veggie ratio. One of our favorites: Lamb stew!

Ingredients: 

• 1 sweet onion
• 6 cloves of garlic
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 lamb kebabs preferably seasoned with rosemary and garlic. 
• 4 yellow potatoes
• 28 oz crushed tomatoes 
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 4 carrots chopped
• 4 stocks of celery chopped with tops for flavor
• any other additional vegetables, we added broccoli, zucchini,  and squash 
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp rosemary 
• 1 10 oz box of couscous 

Directions:

• Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat until heated.  Add chopped onions and garlic, cook for about 3 minutes until they starts to brown. Add lamb and saute until it browns. 
• Add carrots and celery cook for about 5 minutes until they have softened. Then add any additional vegetables and potatoes. 
• Stir in crushed tomatoes and 4 cups broth. Bring to a simmer, covered for 30 minutes.
