Lamb Stew

Kitchen, Main course

Preparation Time:
60
Note:
Lamb is a staple in many cuisines around the world. There are different breeds of this animal and various cuts of its meat. Some have a very distinct flavor and texture, which is why it is important to understand the different breeds and cuts to prepare various stews properly. The shoulders refer to the front legs. When these cuts come from young lambs (lechal), they are ideal for making a stew or grilling. If you plan to make a stew using adult ram meat, keep in mind that the meat will be less tender and will require a longer cooking time. This is a delicious recipe, commonly enjoyed in Cuban cuisine. Enjoy your meal!
