Lamb with potatoes and peas

This is a traditional Italian recipe for lamb. My grandfather from Sicily used to prepare it for Easter but I think it is good anytime.

Persons: 4
Preparation time: 15 min
Cook time: 50 min

Ingredients:
1 lb of lamb
2 cups peas
5 small potatoes
1/4 cup onion, sliced
Olive oil
1 garlic clove
Salt
Pepper

Steps:
  1. Season the lamb with salt and freshly ground black pepper and set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and fry the onions and garlic for 1 minute.
  3. Add the lamb and the potatoes to the pan and fry for 1 minute.
  4. (at this point you can add 1/4 cup of white dry wine, if you like)
  5. Then continue to cook at low heat for 40 minutes.
  6. Add the peas and cook for 10 more minutes (check if the peas are cooked)
  7. Remove from the heat and serve with lots of good toasted bread.
