Instructions

In a pot over medium-high heat, add olive oil, lamb, salt, and pepper. Stir-fry until browned and caramelized.
Lower heat to medium. Add onion and garlic, sauté until softened.
Add cumin and fry for 15 seconds until aromatic.
Deglaze the pan with fire-roasted tomatoes and vegetable broth.
Mix in parsley and mint. Partially cover with a lid and bring to a boil.
Reduce to a gentle simmer and cook for 60 minutes, or until lamb is fork-tender.
Ladle and serve hot with lemon wedges, if desired.

Notes

Serve with rice, couscous, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
Use grass-fed lamb for a richer taste.
