discard marinade. Pat lamb dry with paper

Heat olive
oil over medium- high heat in a large heavy,
deep skillet with a lid. Brown meat on all
sides, about 10 minutes (you may need to do a
few batches). Return all meat to the skillet.
Add onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook,
scraping the browned bits on the bottom of the
pan, until onions are tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in paprika, peppers, tomatoes, parsley, bay
leaf and red wine. Bring to a boil; reduce heat
to medium, and simmer until juices reduce and
begin to thicken (10-15 minutes). |

Add chicken
broth, cover, reduce heat to low. Let simmer for
2 to 2½ hours, stirring occasionally. Lamb
should be very tender. Taste to adjust for
seasonings. |
