Steps

  • 1

    When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 350°F and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.

    350 ˚F / 177 ˚C

  • 2

    Season lamb with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown lamb in batches and set aside.

  • 3

    Add bacon and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until lightly browned. Remove bacon and discard all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat.

  • 4

    Add fat back to the Dutch oven then add onions and sauté until translucent. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds more. Transfer lamb and bacon back to the pan and deglaze with white wine using a wooden spoon to scrape up all the browned bits on the bottom of the pan.

  • 5

    Add stock, herbs, potatoes and carrots to the Dutch oven. Bring to a simmer. Cover and transfer to the grill. Let stew cook for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and falling apart.

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove bay leaves and stems from thyme and rosemary then serve. Enjoy!
