Instructions
- 1Pat the lamb cubes dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- 2Add the lamb to the hot skillet in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the lamb from the skillet and set aside.
- 3Reduce heat to medium, add the chopped onion to the skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4Stir in the chopped cabbage and cook until it begins to wilt, about 5-7 minutes. Add the cubed potatoes and seared lamb back to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
- 5Cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the lamb is cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 6Remove from heat, stir in the fresh dill, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot directly from the skillet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of potato?
Yes, red or russet potatoes can also be used, but Yukon Golds tend to hold their shape well and have a creamy texture. Adjust cooking time as needed.
What if I don't have fresh dill?
Dried dill can be used, but use about 1 tablespoon instead of 1/4 cup, as its flavor is more concentrated. Add it with the broth to allow it to rehydrate.
How can I make this dish spicier?
You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic or a dash of hot sauce when serving to add a bit of heat.
