1 cup White Wine

Place the lamb, flour, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Toss to evenly coat the meat. Brown the meat in the frying pan using the bacon fat.

Put meat in a stock pot while leaving ¼ cup of the fat in frying pan. Saute onion and garlic until onion becomes golden. Deglaze the pan with ½ cup water. Add the onion-garlic mixture to the stock pot along with the bacon pieces, sugar, and beef stock. Cover and allow to simmer for 1 ½ hours.

Add in the onions, potatoes, bay leaves, thyme, carrots, and the wine to the pot. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until the vegetables become tender.

Tips

If there are some stews that get left over, you can refrigerate it and reheat the next day. Stew tastes better when it has been frozen overnight.
