Instructions
- 1
Pat the lamb pieces thoroughly dry with paper towels, then season all over with 1 tsp salt. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in two batches to avoid crowding, sear the lamb for 3ā4 minutes per side until deeply browned on at least two surfaces, then transfer to a plate. Discard any excess fat if the pot looks very greasy, leaving about 1 tbsp behind.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden at the edges, about 8ā10 minutes.
