      1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 160°C (fan) / 140°C (gas mark 3) / 325°F.
      2. Step 2: Season the diced lamb with salt on all sides. Heat a frying pan over medium to medium-high heat and add the lamb. Start with the fat side down to render the fat, then brown the lamb on all sides.
      3. Step 3: Remove the lamb from the pan and place it into an oven-safe Dutch oven or a pan with a lid.
      4. Step 4: Add the diced onion to the frying pan and sauté for 3–4 minutes until lightly golden.
      5. Step 5: Add the garlic, stir through, then sprinkle over the flour. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
      6. Step 6: Deglaze the pan with the white wine, followed by the stock. Stir well to avoid lumps in the mixture.
      7. Step 7: Season the stock lightly with salt (it may reduce in the oven, intensifying the flavours).
      8. Step 8: Tie the parsley, rosemary, and thyme into a bouquet garni, and place it on top of the lamb.
      9. Step 9: Pour the stock and onion mixture over the lamb. Cover the dish and place it in the oven for 1 hour.
      10. Step 10: After 1 hour, add the hard vegetables (potatoes, baby onions, and carrots) to the pan. Return it to the oven and cook for another 30 minutes.
      11. Step 11: After 30 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and add the remaining vegetables (yellow squash, snow peas, and yellow beans). Cook for an additional 10–15 minutes.
      12. Step 12: Remove from the oven, discard the bouquet garni, and garnish with fresh tarragon. Serve warm.
