INGREDIENTS
| 1 | pound boneless lean lamb, cubed |
| 1 | large onion, halved, sliced |
| 1/2 | cup water |
| 6 | cloves garlic, chopped or sliced |
| 2 | cans (about 15 ounces each) no-salt-added whole tomatoes |
| 1 | pound potatoes |
| 3 | cans (4 ounces each) diced mild green chiles, drained |
| 2 | teaspoons dried rosemary |
| 1 | teaspoon dried oregano |
| 1 | pound zucchini |
| 1 | cup frozen whole kernel corn, thawed, drained |

PREPARATION:
- Combine lamb, onion, water and garlic in large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cover and simmer 30 minutes. Increase heat to high and uncover. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until liquid evaporates. Add tomatoes with juice; stir. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut potatoes into 1-1/2-inch pieces. Add potatoes, chiles, rosemary and oregano. Cover; simmer 20 to 30 minutes or until potatoes and lamb are tender.
- Halve zucchini lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/2- to 3/4-inch pieces. Add zucchini and corn to stew. Cover; simmer 10 minutes or until zucchini is crisp-tender. Season with black pepper. Garnish with jalapeños, if desired.
