Classic lamb stew

A warming winter dish...

What you need

45 ml vegetable oil
675 g lamb steaks, trimmed and cut into cubes
125 g shallots, peeled and roughly chopped
175 g carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
125 g parsnips, peeled cored and cut into chunks
6 tsp plain flour
450 ml hot lamb stock
150 ml red wine
3 tsp tomato puree
seasoning
2 fresh bay leaves

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 170°C.

  2. Heat the oil in a large saucepan or large flameproof casserole dish. Add the lamb and saute for 5 min or until browned all over. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  3. Add the onions, carrots and parsnips to the pan. Saute together for 3-5 min or until browned. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  4. Stir the flour into the remaining fat in the pan and cook gently for 1 min. Gradually add the stock and wine, a little at a time, until all is incorporated. Stir in the tomato puree, seasoning and bay leaves.

  5. Bring the stock to the boil. Return the meat and vegetables to the pan then spoon into an ovenproof casserole dish, if not already in one. Cook in the oven for 3 hrs, stirring occasionally.

  6. Remove the bay leaves and adjust the seasoning before serving.
