Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 lb leg of lamb (bone-in)*
- 4 teaspoon all spice
- 2 ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoon tomato paste
- 14 garlic cloves halved
- 1 lb baby carrots
- 6 potatoes peeled and cubed
Instructions
- Rub the entire roast inside and outside with salt and allspice, making sure to season all of the crevices. Rub with the tomato paste, covering both sides of the meat with a layer of paste.
- If using a boneless leg of lamb, stuff the garlic cloves inside and tie the leg together tightly with a string. If using a bone-in leg of lamb, it will likely already be tied for you, so reserve the garlic cloves.
- Put the lamb in the Instant Pot and cover with water. Add the garlic cloves if not stuffed into the meat. Close the lid and set to pressure cook on high for 12 minutes per pound (60 minutes for 5 pounds).
- Naturally release the pressure for 15 minutes, then manually release the remaining pressure. Remove the lamb from the broth and let rest covered in foil for 15 minutes while the vegetables cook.
- Taste the broth and season with additional salt and allspice if desired. Add the carrots and cubed potatoes. Close the lid and set to pressure cook on high for 3 minutes.Complete a quick release of the steam when finished.
- Uncover the resting lamb and carve the meat off of the bone into pieces. Transfer to a serving dish with the carrots and potatoes. Ladle broth over the stew and serve warm.
Notes
*If using boneless leg of lamb, decrease the cooking time to 10 minutes per pound. If using pre-cut lamb stew meat, pressure cook on high for 25 minutes.
Reserve extra lamb broth for other stews or soups. It can be frozen for 6 months or stored in the fridge for 10 days.
