Default Low carb, low sodium lamb stew

I bought a grass fed lamb from local rancher this fall, and yesterday came
up with this for our supper. My husband must limit sodium -

LOW CARB, LOW SODIUM LAMB STEW

1 small onion, sliced
2 T canola oil
1 pound lamb stew meat
1/2 tsp garlic powder
3/8 tsp black pepper
1 tsp sodium free chicken broth powder
1 cup boiling water
3/4 cup diced tomatoes, canned without salt

2 carrots, peeled and cut in chunks
1 small potato, peeled and cut into eight pieces
1 small turnip, peeled and cut into eight pieces
2 T chopped parseley
1/2 cup red wine
1 T cornstarch
1 T cold water

In a heavy oven proof pan, soften the onion in the hot oil over medium heat,
and when it is close to becoming translucent, add the meat, garlic powder,
and pepper. Stir-fry for a few minutes over medium heat to combine the
flavors and coat the meat with the oil.

Add the chicken broth powder, the boiling water and the tomatoes. Stir to
mix thoroughly, cover the pan and place in a 300 degree oven for an hour.
Prepare the vegetables, and add them to the stew, stir to mix thoroughly,
and return to the oven for about another hour and a half.

Dissolve the cornstarch in the cold water, and add some of the hot liquid
from the stew by tablespoons, until the mixture is about a 1/3 of a cup in
volume. Add the cornstarch mixture and the winde to the stew, stir to mix
thoroughly, and return to the oven for about another 45 minutes.

Makes four servings.

I compute the entire recipe to have 3 carbs - one each in the cornstarch,
the potato, and the turnip. So less than 1 carb per serving.

For persons who are not limiting sodium, use garlic salt in place of garlic
powder, beef or chicken broth powder which is prepared with salt, and
regular canned tomatoes. However, this really tastes just fine as written
above!
