Instructions
1
Prep
Trim the lamb shoulder and cut into 1-inch cubes. Dice the onion and bell pepper, mince the garlic, and chop the parsley.
2
Sear
Heat olive oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Sear lamb cubes for 5–6 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on most sides.
3
Saute
Add onion and bell pepper, cook over medium heat for 4–5 minutes until the onion turns translucent.
4
Braise
Stir in garlic, tomato paste, paprika, and cumin; cook 1 minute. Pour in crushed tomato and beef stock, add bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60 minutes until lamb is fork-tender, stirring occasionally.
5
Finish
Stir in cannellini beans and simmer uncovered for 8–10 minutes until sauce thickens. Remove bay leaf, stir in lemon juice and half the parsley. Ladle into a bowl and scatter remaining parsley over the top.
