Start with 4 pounds of lamb from a whole lamb, cut into chunks.

Place the lamb in a pressure cooker.

Add 1 onion, 2 tablespoons of garlic, 1 cinnamon stick, 2 teaspoons of black peppercorns, and 2 teaspoons of salt to the pressure cooker.

Pour in 1 liter of water.

Seal the pressure cooker and cook for 20 to 25 minutes once it reaches pressure.

After cooking, separate the meat from the stock, keeping the stock for later use.

In a large pot, heat some olive oil over medium heat.

Add 1 cup of sliced onions and 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic; sauté for about 4 minutes.

Add 1 cup of carrots and a couple of pinches of black pepper; stir and cook for another 4 minutes.

Add the lamb back into the pot along with the reserved stock and 1 can of whole plum tomatoes; break down the tomatoes with a spoon.

Cover and cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, add 2 cups of mushrooms and 1 cup of chunky bell peppers; stir and cover again.

Cook for another 6 to 7 minutes.

Uncover and add 2 glasses of red wine and a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce; reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

Check the stew for seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper as needed.
