Ingredients
  • 3 lb leg of lamb meat, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
  • 6 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 large leeks, chopped
  • 2 large yellow onions, chopped
  • 2 cups cabbage, finely chopped

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
  2. Salt and pepper the lamb chunks. In a large ovenproof Dutch oven, sauté the meat in both oils until browned on all sides. Remove the meat from the Dutch oven and set aside.
  3. In the same Dutch oven, sauté the celery, leeks and onions until limp, about 3 minutes. Add the cabbage, season with the coriander and thyme and add the tomatoes.
  4. Return the meat to the Dutch oven. Add the beef broth, cover and bake until the meat is fork tender, about 2 hours.
