In a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat, warm oil. Add lamb pieces and cook until perfectly browned, gently stirring. Season generously with salt and pepper for flavor.
Add the aromatic trio of onion, carrots, and parsnips to the pot and sauté briefly. Pour in water, cover, and bring to a gentle boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer until the lamb reaches desired tenderness, typically around 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the type of meat chosen.
