This aromatic lamb stew with leeks and baby artichokes is a wonderful example of a lighter, more vibrant way to enjoy slow-cooked meat. By using lean lamb shoulder and a generous amount of fresh parsley, garlic, and lemon zest, the dish delivers a deep, savoury flavour without the need for heavy sauces. The addition of baby artichokes provides a sophisticated earthy note and a pleasing texture that perfectly complements the tender, succulent meat.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe prioritises lean protein and fibrous vegetables over starchy fillers. It is an excellent choice for a healthy family dinner or a weekend gathering when you want something nourishing yet impressive. Serve it with a side of cauliflower rice or a light mock risotto to keep the dish low-carbohydrate and balanced.

Ingredients for Lamb Stew with Leeks and Baby Artichokes

1.6kg boneless lamb shoulder meat, trimmed of excess fat, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 1/4 cups chopped fresh Italian parsley
3 שיני שום, קצוצות
1 כף קליפת לימון מגוררת דק
45 מ"ל שמן זית
2 large leeks (white and pale green parts only), thinly sliced (about 400g )
1 large onion, thinly sliced
3/4 teaspoons dried thyme
350ml (or more) low-salt chicken broth
1/2 lemon
18 baby artichokes (about 800g)

How to make Lamb Stew with Leeks and Baby Artichokes

Place trimmed lamb in large bowl; sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Cover and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.

Combine 1 cup chopped parsley, minced garlic, and grated lemon peel in small bowl. Reserve remaining 1/4 cup parsley for garnish.

Heat oil in heavy large pot over high heat. Working in batches, add lamb and cook until well browned on all sides, about 7 minutes per batch. Transfer lamb to medium bowl. Add leeks and onion to drippings in pot and sauté until softened, about 7 minutes. Add chopped parsley mixture and thyme; stir 30 seconds. Return lamb and any accumulated juices to pot. Add 350ml broth and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until lamb is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours.

Lamb stew can be prepared 1 day ahead of serving. Cool slightly. Refrigerate stew uncovered until cold, then cover and keep refrigerated. Bring lamb stew to simmer before continuing with recipe.

Fill medium bowl with cold water. Squeeze juice from lemon half into water; add squeezed lemon half. Break off tough outer leaves from 1 artichoke where leaves break naturally, stopping when first yellow leaves are reached. Cut off stem and top 1/2 inch from artichoke, then cut artichoke in half lengthwise and drop into lemon water. Repeat with remaining artichokes.

Drain artichokes and add to lamb stew. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until artichokes are tender, adding more broth by 60ml fuls if stew is dry, about 25 minutes. Season stew to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl; sprinkle lamb stew with reserved 1/4 cup chopped parsley and serve with Mock Risotto alongside.
