Lamb stew is a real comfort meal and so filling. One of the reasons I love making this dish is that it freezes very well, so when I make a batch on a Sunday afternoon, I divide it into freezer containers, wait for it to cool down a bit and freeze. They will be good for 8 weeks.
Side note: we all know that lamb and rosemary go together like Ben and Jerry, but hey, you could also use another type of meat and grass, keeping everything else the same.

must confess that I’ve been eating quite a few stews lately with the drop in temperature here on the Sunshine Coast. Cool in the mornings and evenings, just enough to take out the Ugg boots and winter wool makers.
Luckily, although it’s still nice enough to leave early on a Sunday morning to the beach to grab our bowls of Acai from our favorite café. We usually take the dog, have a coffee and sit on the beach eating our delicious and very cold acai bowls loaded with fruit. They are one of the things I look forward to every other week with my husband when he is home from work. It’s our thing.
Tips for making lamb stew in pressure
- cooker Brown the lamb before adding the rest of the ingredients. This applies regardless of whether you are making this dish in the pressure cooker, slow cooker, stove or oven. Browning the meat, seals the flavors and helps to make a stew with more interesting layers.
- Use fresh herbs. It makes all the difference and adds a real freshness and lightness to the stew.
- Thicken with cornmeal/cornstarch. If after cooking, you have released the pressure and removed the lid, it is a little too liquid, thicken the sauce with a suspension of conflour / cornstarch. (see step 12 in Instructions)
This is a winter family favorite, packed with nutritious, high-protein, low-fat vegetables. I tend to find this a meal in itself and I don’t need any other side dishes or bread, but if you really want to treat yourself, there’s one thing that certainly beats everything else: crispy garlic and herbal bread that you can separate and dip into the sauce while eating it all.
