I have a dental appointment in 20 minutes and it's going to be ugly! So this morning I made my favorite Pressure Cooker Lamb Stew. Here it is with the receipe.

Celadon - does Master Cook have a way to account for the fat removal I describe in step 2? I know it brings the fat count way down, but don't know how to calculate it. Also the unknown ingredient is "seasonings" -- there was not an option for lamb seasoning blend. And in today's version I added 1/3 cup of left-over corn and red pepper salad for color. For my husband I serve this over rice, but for me I just eat it straight up, mostly the meat which is soft and buttery and kind to a dental-weary mouth.



Pressure cooker lamb stew

1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
2 pounds lamb, all cuts, separable lean & fat, R-T-C, boneless, trimmed of fat
1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons seasonings, lightly crushed
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
15 ounces tomatoes, canned
15 ounces chicken stock
1 1/2 cups carrot, sliced 1" thick

Over medium high heat in 8 quart pressure cooker heat the olive oil. Add the onion and crushed garlic and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate. Brown the cubed lamb. Toss with the flour, seasonings, black pepper and garlic powder. Allow the flour to slightly. Add the tomatoes, chicken stock and stir. Place the sliced carrots on top and place the pressure top on the pot. Bring to high pressure and reduce heat only enough to maintain high pressure. Cook for 18 minutes.

Carefully release steam from the pressure cooker and allow stew to cool slightly. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours to allow fat to solidify on top. Remove fat and then slowly reheat stew over medium heat. Serve warm, over rice if desired.

Kaye, this looks really yummy and my husband loves lamb but I rarely cook it. I didn't used to like it but I do like it now so this will be the one to try. Unfortunately, MC doesn't allow for draining the fat, but I do have a calculator from the University of Ohio that will calculate the difference. It was given to me several years ago by my PCP's wife who is a nutritionist. The bad news is that I have to make the recipe and drain the fat to measure it before I can calculate it. I will get lamb at the market over the weekend and make this next week and let you know. Then, we should put it in the cookbook!

Enjoy your stew!

Hey Cel -- -- Home from the dentist and numb/sleepy as all get out. I will measure the fat removed from the lamb stew and also measure the remaining edible stew ---- thanks for knowing how to calculate this.

BTW - I used to didn't think I like lamb... well, living in sheep country and beef country I must confess I've got a taste for the little baa-baa-bah!
