A comforting and flavorful lamb and lentil stew perfect for cozy evenings.
Prepare the ingredients by chopping the onion, celery, and carrots into small pieces.
Uniformly chopped vegetables ensure even cooking and a consistent texture.
Add the lamb, lentils, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, onion, celery, carrots, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves to the slow cooker.
Layer the ingredients with the lamb at the bottom for even cooking.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours until the lamb is tender and the lentils are cooked.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain the temperature and cooking time.
Remove the bay leaves, stir in fresh parsley, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Taste the stew before adding salt to avoid over-seasoning.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Pair with crusty bread or rice for a complete meal.
