Preparation

Chop the carrots, potatoes, and onions into bite-sized pieces.

Cooking

Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Brown the lamb pieces for about 5-7 minutes.
Add minced garlic and fresh thyme, stirring for just a minute.
Incorporate the chopped carrots and onions, cooking for about 5 minutes until onions are translucent.
Pour in the beef or vegetable broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Stir in salt, pepper, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Cover the pot and reduce heat to low. Let it simmer for about 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.
If desired, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the pot during the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Serving

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for an extra pop of color.
