Lamb Leg Stew
Lamb Leg Stew
Meaty stews can be rich comfort foods but may also be high
in fat. Giving a bit of thought to your choice and quantity of meat can lower
the fat.
For lamb stew, leg meat is considerably lower in fat than
other cuts and offers great flavor. The leg meat contains enough connective
tissue so that it becomes relatively tender when cooked at a low temperature
for a long time.
To keep things significantly healthier, always be sure to
trim all meats of any visible fat before you cook them.
Another strategy for making a stew lean is to load it with
vegetables. They add essential flavor and are filling, but low in fat and
calories. Mushrooms in particular add a deep, satisfying flavor to stew, plus
they have a chewy, almost meaty texture.The stew is made with lean, boneless
leg of lamb plus plenty of potatoes, leeks, carrots and celery. Chopped fresh
thyme and parsley add an aromatic layer, plus a welcome touch of bright green.
