Crock Pot Lamb Stew With Barley

This is based on a recipe from bh&g's biggest book of slow cooker recipes. This is a nice, hearty lamb stew. I serve with bread (homemade, of course!) and a salad.!

Steps

Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet , or an electric frying appliance , such as in my case.
Brown half of the meat in the hot oil and set aside.
Add remaining meat.
Add onion when meat is nearly browned.
After the onion is tender , two minutes or so , add the garlic to the onion / meat mixture and saute for a couple of more minutes.
In a 3 1 / 2- to 5-quart slow cooker , combine the broth , undrained tomatoes , barley , wine , dried dillweed , salt , and black pepper.
Add the meat mixture and stir.
Cover.
Cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 10 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours.
Before serving , stir in the roasted peppers and fresh mint.
If using fresh dill , stir that in as well.
