Lamb leek stew


Making use of the leftover lamb from Easter, I'm making lamb leek stew. First time making lamb stew, but glad I did. Not sure if the stew was better, or eating it outside on the back deck with the freshly mowed yard. Tried to get a little of both in the pic. Pretty much made up the recipe, but here are the basics.

Brown in butter:
1 leek
3 carrots
3 cloves garlic
Add 1/2 pound mushrooms
Thyme, Bay leaves, salt, pepper
2 tbs flour to make a roux
Cook the roux for a few minutes
Add 2 cups chicken stock
2 cups water
Leftover lamb chunks
Cook for a few hours
Add some potatoes
When almost done add some frozen peas.
