This recipe is very simple.
Wash cherry tomatoes, boil them in hot water for few seconds and peel. Chop onion finely.
Fry lamb stew with olive oil in a large saucepan lightly until it is golden. Pour into the pan the wine and let it evaporate, turning meat. At this point add peeled cherry tomatoes, chopped onions, tomato paste and aromatic herbs; let all the ingredients flavour for some minutes and then add all the vegetables, still frozen, and some ladles of hot water or stock according to your taste. Keep on cooking over a medium heat, half-covered, stirring now and then until meat and vegetables are tender and cooking juices are well retired. Add other hot water or stock only if necessary.
Season to taste with salt at the end of cooking.
Serve hot or warm.

Note
- It's an one-plate meal; you could complete your menu with a dessert, for example a fruit or
  apple tart. Consult our dessert recipe index for finding the right recipe.
- You can add all the ingredients together, without frying lightly the meat; in this case add the
  olive oil when you switch off the gas, before serving.
- If you prepare this dish in spring, you can use fresh vegetables but you have to buy different
  doses.

What's the right wine?
Our suggestion is: Dolcetto d'Alba (red wine from Piedmont)
