Ensopado de borrego

Ensopado de borrego is a flavorful Portuguese lamb stew originating from Alentejo. It is usually prepared with lean lamb that is cut into smaller cubes, cider vinegar, potatoes, stock, lard, flour, stale bread, and spices and seasonings such as salt, pepper, cloves, bay leaves, parsley, coriander, onions, and garlic. The stew is slowly simmered until the lamb becomes tender. When served, stale bread is first placed on the bottom of a large serving dish, and ensopado de borrego is then poured over it. It is recommended to serve the stew with a fresh salad on the side.
