Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1.5 lb lamb stew meat in a single layer and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Work in batches if needed to avoid crowding.
Step 2
Add 1 sliced onion and 1 chopped red bell pepper to the pot. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Pour in 14.5 oz canned diced tomatoes with their juices. Add 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Stir to combine.
Step 4
Add 1 lb potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks. Add enough water to just cover the meat and vegetables (about 1 cup).
Step 5
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until lamb is tender and potatoes are cooked through, about 1.5 hours. Check occasionally, adding water if needed.
Step 6
Uncover and simmer for 10 more minutes to thicken the sauce slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Step 7
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
