Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Season the flour with the salt and pepper. Lightly dust the lamb with the flour and shake off the excess. Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottom pot over medium heat until hot. Add the lamb in one layer and saute until golden brown on all sides, about 6 to 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the mint and season lightly with salt and pepper. Add the white wine, stir well and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice and artichoke hearts, lower the heat, cover the pot and simmer gently until the lamb is tender, about 30 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons mint, the parsley and the lemon zest. When the lamb is tender, gently slide the oysters into the stew and simmer for an additional 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the mint mixture, divide among heated bowls and serve.

Delicious. Added 1 bunch of sliced rainbow carrots. Served it with kale Colcannon for St. Patrick’s Day, and it was a hit.
