Cocker's best Lamb Stew
Ingredients
- 1 Pound Cubed Lamb, beef, or other meat from a tougher cut like leg or shoulder
- 1 cup Carrots, chopped
- 1 cup Potato, cubed
- 1 cup Sweet Potato, cubed
- 1 cup Winter squash like butternut or pumpkin, cubed
- 1 cup Spinach or green beans (optional)
- 2 Quarts Water
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Heat Olive oil in a Large pot over medium high heat. Sear the meat in the oil, stirring occasionally to keep from sticking. Add water, bring to a boil. Taper back the heat to a simmer. Let it go until the meat begins to soften (about 1 to 1 1/2 hours). Add more water if needed.
- Add in the potatoes and cook until they begin to fall apart. The starch from the potatoes will thicken the broth.
- Add in the carrots and sweet potatoes and return to a simmer. Stir until well mixed. Allow them to soften.
- If adding green vegetables, add at the end, so they don't overcook.
- The mixture should come together as a paste almost. Remove from the heat and cool enough that your dog won't burn its mouth. Serve fresh and/or refrigerate the remainder.
