Toss the lamb with salt and black pepper.
Heat the vegetable oil in a pot and sear the meat for 6 minutes, until browned.
Chop the onions and carrots into large pieces, add them to the pot, and soften for 5 minutes.
Add the pearl barley, bay leaves, thyme, and stock, then bring to a boil.
Cover the pot and cook over low heat for 75 minutes.
Cut the potatoes into large chunks and add them to the stew.
Cook for 40 more minutes, until the potatoes and meat are completely tender.
Serve hot, sprinkled with scallions.
💡 Tip: Inexpensive, gelatin-rich lamb cuts become softer and more flavorful during long cooking.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with scallions on top and soda bread or dark bread on the side.
