  1. I don't like the idea of leaving carrots out of a stew, also potatoes whole do not look presentable, they should be quartered, and never ever call onions and carrots ugly, that is a no no my friend. God created these wonderful vegetables for our nourishment, and therefore they could never be called uglyl Use of the word 'unwarranted', 'unsightly', 'unnecessary', etc. is probably a better choice of phrasing your intentions.

  2. Perfect example of why classic French dishes are classic. Cook in flavor, blanch potatoes, caramelize onion, strain sauce and put together for perfection.

  3. Looks amazing I bet it taste delicious..can I cook this in a slow cooker …as I'm new here I've been going back to start of all yr videos…thanks for tip on pickling onions as I'm Australian I was looking for pearl onions and never knew bout pickling onions …thanks yr awesome Stephane 👍👍👍🤤😀🙏

  4. My French mother makes this beautifully, very rustic from the countryside farm. I'm going to try this way because of the Browning of the lamb.😊

  5. A few days before seeing this video I had made my own recipe for Navarin of Lamb, which I have derived from several others, taking the bits I like. I noticed two big differences between the recipe in this video, and many others I have seen. 1) No white wine is added. I always thought a crisp white wine was an important component of the sauce's flavour. 2) The sauce here is thickened with flour. In some other recipes the sauce tends to be a very clear 'broth', like a clear soup. I think this version is very "restauranty" and less rustic. I had believed that a key 'gimmick' of Navarin of lamb was the use of whole baby vegetables. In my version I include: whole baby carrots, whole baby new potatoes, and whole baby turnips (if I can get them, else chopped turnips), and whole baby plum tomatoes. This gives the dish a very rustic and interesting look. Not being French I dare say I am committing sacrilege!
