This stew was so easy to make and very very delish!! MY DH loved it; and he's picky! Instead of cutting up carrots, I threw in a bag of shredded carrots and added 2 celery sticks, cut up. Adding the flour and chicken broth mixed together at the end make the stew thicken up. My sister and niece loved it too....definitely will make again!

This is one of the tastiest lamb stews that I have ever had. Definitely would suggest using fresh herbs. Not many are called for and a little fresh does justice to this dish. I added extra carrots and potatoes (only because my family loves them) and it didn't hurt this dish one bit. Easy to fix as well.
