Navarin is a French ragout of lamb or mutton. Often, vegetables are added, making it Navarin printanier. While the name “Navarin” has been suggested to relate to the 1827 Battle of Navarino, more probably it Refers to the stew’s traditional inclusion of turnips – Nave in French. Made for King George the Third during the signing of the treaty of France, even though he was not there.
