For a richer flavor, use lamb broth instead of water. Browning the lamb in batches ensures proper searing and prevents steaming. Adjust the amount of broth to your desired consistency. For a thicker stew, mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot during the last 15 minutes of cooking. A splash of red wine vinegar or Worcestershire sauce can add depth of flavor. This stew tastes even better the next day! Pair with a dark beer such as Guinness or a full-bodied red wine.
