Ingredients
Instructions
  1. In a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and the onion over medium heat until the onion is soft (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Turn the heat up and add the lamb, salt and pepper, stirring to sear the outside of the meat.
  3. Reduce the heat to low. Add the white wine and the rosemary and cook covered for 90 minutes. (Alternatively you can use a pressure cooker and cook for 45 min at 80ph.) Add the artichokes and cook for another 25 minutes or until the lamb and the artichokes are tender. (If you are using a pressure cooker, cook for another 15 minutes.)
  4. Taste to adjust the salt and pepper and serve.
Notes
This can also be cooked in the slow cooker for 6 hours on high or 10 hours on low. Add the artichokes half way through cooking.
