1 onion, diced

skillet over medium-high heat. In two batches, brown the lamb on
all sides, about 8-10 minutes per batch, using more oil for the
second batch. Remove lamb to a bowl and set aside. Reduce heat to
medium, add onions, carrots and celery to pan and cook, stirring,
until softened, 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until aromatic,
about 30 seconds.
Stir in tomato sauce, wine or vermouth, basil, thyme and bay leaf.
Add reserved lamb and return to a simmer. Cover and bake for about
1 hours, or until the lamb is tender, turning the meat once after
45 minutes. Discard the bay leaf, taste and adjust seasonings.
