Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 180C / 160C fan/ gas mark 4 / 350F.

Step 2:

In a large ovenproof pan (or hobproof casserole dish), add a little oil plus the onion and carrot. Cover with a lid and cook on a low heat for 5 minutes or until soft but not brown.

Step 3:

Turn the heat up and add the lamb, cook for 2-3 minutes until nicely browned. Add the lamb stock, plus a little salt and pepper and bring to the boil.

Step 4:

Turn the heat off and arrange the potato slices on the top so they slightly overlap. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper then cover the pan with a lid (or foil) and place in the preheated oven for 1 hour.

Step 5:

After 1 hour turn the oven up to 220C / 200C / gas mark 7 / 425F and cook for a further 30 minutes, uncovered, or until the top is brown and the potatoes are completely cooked.

Step 6:

Serve just as it is or with extra vegetables.
