Prepare the Lamb: In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the boneless lean lamb and onion to the pot. Brown them until the lamb is cooked through and the onion is translucent.
Add Flour: Stir in the all-purpose flour, ensuring it mixes well with the lamb and onion mixture.
Add Broth: Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring continuously. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, making sure to scrape off any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Season: To the pot, add the carrots, leeks, 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, bay leaf, dried rosemary, salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Stir everything together, ensuring the flavors meld beautifully.
Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the prepared mixture into a greased 3-quart baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Layer with Potatoes: Cover the mixture with slices of potatoes, arranging them in an overlapping pattern. Dot the potatoes with butter for an added richness.
Bake: Place the baking dish, uncovered, into the preheated oven. Let it bake for approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender, and the potatoes are golden brown and cooked through.
Final Touches: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven. Discard the bay leaf, and garnish the lamb bake with the remaining chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve: Scoop generous portions onto plates and savor the hearty flavors of this New England Lamb Bake. Pair it with your favorite sides or enjoy it on its own for a satisfying meal that’s perfect for a cozy winter night.
