Lamb and Carrot Stew

Ryan loves lamb. I told him that we had some and asked him if he wanted stew or stir fry. I was hoping he’d say stir fry, but this stew came out really good!

I used lamb meat for stew. Any type of meat or seitan could work well for this recipe. The part that surprises people about my stews is that I don’t use any liquid. I promise it will be better without any!

Optional: 1-2 cups of leftover potatoes or rice. We had about 1 cup each of leftover white rice and boiled diced potatoes in the refrigerator. I added them in at the beginning and they made a nice thickener.
