Stap voor stap

1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Add the lamb pieces and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the lamb and set aside.
Ongeveer 7 min
Tip van de kok: Do not overcrowd the pot; brown the lamb in batches if necessary.
3
Reduce heat to medium, add the onion to the pot, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Ongeveer 5 min
