Ingredients

  • 2 onions, finely diced

  • dash of rapeseed oil

  • 2 carrots, diced

  • 4 smoked streaky rashers, cut into cubes

  • 2 tsp ground nutmeg

  • 1kg lamb neck, chopped

  • large bunch of thyme, removed from the stalk and chopped

  • bunch of rosemary, removed from the stalk and chopped

  • 6 baby potatoes, quartered

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan and gently sauté the onion on a low heat. When they are transparent, stir in the carrots and rashers, until the bacon turns golden.

  2. Stir in the nutmeg and lamb, until the lamb is brown all over. Add the rosemary and potatoes. Cover the ingredients with water and allow to simmer over a low heat, without a lid.

  3. Allow to bubble away, until the potatoes have softened and the lamb is cooked through. Taste and season.
