Method

To Make Lamb
1

Preheat the oven to 150°C.

2

Season the lamb with a little salt and pepper. Place the flour in a bag with the chops and toss to coat.

3

Heat the butter over a high heat in a large ovenproof saucepan (or a regular pan then transfer to a casserole dish later).

4

Sear the chops a few at a time to brown them on both sides. Set the chops aside.

5

Add the tomato paste to the pan and cook for a few minutes on a high heat.

6

Add the wine, if using and let it bubble up for 30 seconds.

7

Add the stock, thyme, rosemary stick, bay leaves, garlic and the tomatoes.

8

Transfer to an ovenproof dish, cover and cook in the oven for 2 ½ hours (or transfer to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours).

To Make Vegetables
1

Steam the vegetables until tender (the potatoes will take longer). Add a little oil, salt and pepper then toss to coat.

To Serve
1

Serve the lamb stew in large bowls, topped with freshly steamed vegetables.
