Ingredients

  • 1 large onion diced
  • 2 large carrots cut into bitesize pieces
  • 600 g Diced lamb (leg or shoulder both work well)
  • 500 ml lamb stock from a cube is fine
  • 3 large potatoes (roughly 500g / 1lb), cut into 3mm (⅛inch) slices
  • Plus a little oil, salt and pepper
  • Vegetables to serve optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 180C / 160C fan/ gas mark 4 / 350F.
  2. In a large, wide cast iron pot (or ovenproof saucepan - see Note 1), add a little oil plus the onion and carrot. Cover with a lid and cook on a low heat for 5 minutes or until soft but not brown.
  3. Turn the heat up and add the lamb, cook for 2-3 minutes until nicely browned. Add the lamb stock, plus a little salt and pepper and bring to the boil.
  4. Turn the heat off and arrange the potato slices on the top so they slightly overlap. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper then cover the pan with a lid (or foil) and place in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
  5. After 1 hour turn the oven up to 220C / 200C / gas mark 7 / 425F and cook for a further 30 minutes, uncovered, or until the top is brown and the potatoes are completely cooked.
  6. Serve just as it is or with extra vegetables.

Notes

  • If you don’t have a suitable cast iron pot/ovenproof saucepan, then simply start this in a saucepan or frying pan on the hob and then transfer to an ovenproof dish for the oven part.
  • Suitable for freezing.
