![[CW: Meat] The best part of making lamb stew is when I put it in the Crockpot and sit on my ass and do nothing for 8 hours](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/ed982071-802a-4e5e-ae65-14e8c8f4d7d2.png){kind=link}
trimmed and chopped up some boneless lamb leg a few days back, marinated it in a bunch of spices and herbs and olive oil and worcestershire sauce. Chopped up some bacon this morning and half-cooked it to get some lard out and used that to sweat the onions and garlic and sear the lamb. Added some potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, tomato paste, beef broth, more spices and bay leaf.
It feels good to cook again.
Cooking isn't magic but it is science
And science says when you heat a bacteria/virus/whatever to a certain temperature that thing will die
