Red Wine Lamb Neck Stew

This delicious lamb neck stew is so easy to put together, and then all you have to do is leave it to cook. Lamb neck is a fabulously underrated and inexpensive cut of lamb. It is a tough cut that requires a very long, slow cooking time. It may look as though there isn’t much meat, but it does yield a surprisingly generous amount once every scrap is tender.
