    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the red and yellow onions finely. Mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Stew

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender. Stir occasionally and add more water if needed.
