This is a simple stew that can be made within an hour or for best results, made the night before.\u00a0 You can either make your own stock using bones from the lamb neck or just buy a neck fillet and a separate stock.\u00a0 What I love about this dish is that it’s a one pot recipe, so it’s minimal fuss.\u00a0 It also uses a cheap cut of meat (for lamb anyway) and all of the ingredients are easy to get hold of in your local supermarket.<\/p>\n

For those of you who don’t like chopping vegetables you are in luck, you can cut all the vegetables in this dish fairly thick and rustic as it’s a stew.\u00a0 And to top it all off you have only one pot to clean up afterwards!<\/p>\n

You can also add some dumplings to really round out the dish but I haven’t gone that far as I usually just make this as a quick dinner during the week.\u00a0 If I want to make this a bit more special, I’ll add in some dumplings… maybe next time.<\/p>\n

Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The smaller you cut your potatoes the faster this dish will cook.<\/p>\n

If you make this the night before it will taste much better but don’t overcook the potatoes as they will fall apart.\u00a0 It’s best to leave the potatoes a little undercooked and then finish the dish off the following day.<\/p>\n

The stew will keep for a few days (and absorb more flavour every day) so you can make a large pot of it and eat it over the week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
