Cooks' Note

While you can’t cook this meal in half an hour, there’s little prepping involved in the hearty stew if you use precut lamb stew meat and frozen green beans and peas. Just chop an onion, and let your stove top do the work while you take care of other interests. If you prefer slightly leaner lamb leg meat, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes, and cook for about 30 minutes longer.
