(I have a nonstick skillet so I used very little oil.)

• Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. Carefully remove thyme stems.
• In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water until no lumps remain.

• Add butternut squash, mushrooms, sweet potato, carrots, and celery; mix ingredients. Add bone broth and Marsala wine; it won't look like enough liquid but don't worry. Place rosemary and thyme on top.
• Cover and cook on High for 4 hours. Lift fresh herbs and stir the stew. Replace herbs, cover, and cook on Low until vegetables and lamb are tender, about 2 more hours.
• Remove herbs before serving.
