ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 shallots, thinly sliced
- 3 leeks, thinly sliced, white and light-green parts only
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
- 1 cup chicken stock

- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 pieces lemon zest, each 3-inch x 1-inch

directions
- Pat lamb dry with paper towels. Toss lamb cubes with flour in medium-sized bowl. Shake off excess flour and set aside on a wire rack.
- Pour oil into Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, add lamb. Cook lamb until browned on each side, about eight minutes total. Remove lamb to a plate and set aside.
- Add shallots, leeks, garlic, and thyme to Dutch oven. Cook, stirring often, until leeks are lightly browned, about four minutes.
- Add stock, white wine, lemon juice, and lemon zest to pot. Scrape up any browned bits from bottom of Dutch oven with wooden spoon. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and return lamb to Dutch oven.
- Turn heat to high and bring to boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and partially cover. Cook, stirring frequently, until lamb is very tender, 45 minutes to an hour.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with boiled potatoes.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013.
After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
