The list of ingredients is long, and there are quite a few steps in comparison to most of my recipes, but this is extremely easy to make!
I had ground lamb in my freezer so decided to do a twist on lamb stew. It's different than the norm, but still very tasty. I made my butterless drop biscuits to plop on top which turned out to be an excellent idea so I am including that in the process. You don't HAVE to do that part though.

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Grease with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Mix all meatball ingredients together in a large bowl until just combined. Scoop out 1 tbs of mixture at a time. Roll into balls. Place on cookie sheet spaced evenly apart. Should make about 24. Place in oven. Bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven when done.

  3. 3

    While meatballs cook, chop onion to 1/4 in pieces. Peel carrots and parsnips. Trim ends and chop carrots, parsnips, and turnips into large chunks (about 1" pieces).

  4. 4

    Melt butter over medium heat in a large pot. Add onion. Sautée until just translucent, stirring frequently. About 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir in flour and cook 2 minutes more. Wisk in beef broth, tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil stirring often.

  6. 6

    Add carrots, parsnips, and turnips. Reduce heat to medium low, cover with lid off-set to vent. Simmer 20 minutes. Stirring occasionally. Stir in meatballs, simmer 10 minutes more. Preheat oven to 450°F (yep, oven on again).

  7. 7

    While stew simmers with meatballs stir dry biscuit ingredients together in a large bowl. Wisk together mayo and milk in a small bowl.

  8. 8

    Spray a 1/4 cup measuring cup with cooking spray (do this every couple biscuits). Scoop biscuit dough 1/4 cup at a time and gently drop on top of stew distributed evenly (I do 7 in a ring, 1 in the center).

  9. 9

    Place pot in oven uncovered. Bake until biscuit tops are golden. About 15 minutes.

Cooking is a hobby and a passion of mine. I love cooking and trying new and different things. The best thing about cooking? I get to prepare delicious food for my family and friends that they (almost) always love! Lol.Many of my recipes are experiments in what I could make with what was available at the time. Many are simply my version of classic and/or popular dishes. A few are variations of recipes I have found elsewhere online but adjusted to our tastes. No matter what, though, each of my recipes is tried and tested before posting and I hope you find as much joy in preparing them as I do.
