I never tried this until meeting Deird & Denise. Denise used to cook a bucket of this at a time. Denise likes this cooked down, so that the potatoes are mushed in to the juices. I like it a little less cooked, with a thin ‘gravy’ and firmish potatoes. To get it right, stew the lamb for an hour or so before the veg goes in.
1/2 Leg of lamb
2lb potatoes
1lb carrots
a handful of rosemary
Cut the meat from the bone, and dice. brown the meat a little in a big pan
Add water to cover, and simmer gently for an hour
Add the potatoes and carrots to the pot
cook till the potatoes are cooked, and falling apart.
salt, to taste
