⦁ 1 MEDIUM-SIZED GREEN PEPPER (DICED)
⦁ 2 QUARTS STOCK
⦁ 1 1/2 CUP DICED POTATOES
⦁ 1 CAN WHOLE-KERNEL CORN
⦁ 1/2 TEASPOON SALT
⦁ 1/2 TEASPOON PEPPER
⦁ A SMALL HANDFULL OF THYME (I HAVE SMALL HANDS, SO I JUST POUR THE DRIED HERBS IN THE PALM OF MY HAND AND THEN CRUSH THEM BY RUBBING MY PALMS TOGETHER. IF YOU ARE USING FRESH THYME, I WOULD SUGGEST USING A MUCH SMALLER AMOUNT)
⦁ 1/2 CUP BARLEY
Melt shortening in kettle. Add lamb, onions, celery and green pepper. Cook over low heat until lamb is browned on all sides, stirring occasionally. Add stock and bring to a boil. Add remaining ingredients. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally for 45 minutes, or until veggies are tender. You can add mushrooms for a little extra flavor if you like mushrooms. I personally love mushrooms, but no one i cook for likes them.
