- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 medium yellow onions, peeled, halved and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
- 12 cloves garlic, peeled, plus 2 for toasting, divided
- 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 12 small parsnips, washed and thoroughly peeled

What you do
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Heat a Dutch oven over high heat and add the oil.
- Season the pieces of lamb on all sides with salt and pepper. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, use a pair of metal tongs to arrange the meat, in a single layer, in the hot oil.
- Brown the meat on all sides.
- Remove the meat and transfer it to a medium bowl.
- Stir in the onions, garlic, and brown sugar. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir in the parsnips and carrots and cook until they become slightly tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the vermouth, bay leaves, mustard, browned meat, lamb bones, and stock.
- Stir to combine and put the pot in the center of the oven, uncovered.
- Cook until the meat is tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. If the liquid starts to reduce too much, add water, as necessary.
- Just before serving, put a large cast iron pan over medium-high heat and coat it with olive oil.
- Once heated, add the remaining garlic cloves and the sliced bread and toast on both sides.
- Remove the toast from the pan and set aside.
- Remove the stew from the oven and use a large spoon to skim any excess fat or impurities form the surface of the sauce and remove the bones.
- Taste for seasoning.
- Stir in the mustard greens and peas, if desired.
- Serve immediately.
