Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

2-5 hrs
ingredients
2 cups dried lentils
2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder
OR
3 1/2 pounds bone-in lamb shoulder or neck
1 1/2 cup sliced onions
salt, to taste
freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 cup minced celery
1/2 cup peeled, minced carrots
1 cup chopped, cored tomatoes (canned are fine)
3 cups liquid, such as water, red wine and/or chicken, beef or vegetable stock
minced fresh parsley leaves for garnish
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. You can also cook this on the stove, if you prefer.
Trim lamb shoulder of excess fat and cut into 2-inch cubes or, if using bone-in, cut into 2-inch chunks.
In a large pot or casserole with a cover, combine the lamb, lentils, onions, salt and pepper, and 3 cups liquid.
Cover the pot, bring it almost to a boil over high heat, then either turn the heat to low or place the stew in the oven. Adjust the heat so the lamb bubbles gently.
After the lamb has cooked for about 45 minutes, add the carrots, celery, garlic and tomatoes. Add more liquid if the mixture seems dry or if you like your stew on the soupy side.
Cook until the lamb is tender and the second batch of vegetables is tender but not mushy, another 30 to 60 minutes. Garnish and serve.
If you prepare this stew the day before, the flavor will deepen. Skim excess fat from the surface.
