French-inspired lamb stew for a perfect dinner.
Ingredients:
  • 2kg lamb grilling chops, trimmed
  • 30g butter
  • 2 slender leeks, trimmed, halved, washed
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 30.00 ml plain flour
  • 1020.00 gm beef stock
  • 8 sprigs thyme
  • 3 dried bay leaves
  • 82.50 ml flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
  • 2 bunches baby turnips, peeled, trimmed
  • 1 bunch Dutch carrots, peeled, trimmed
  • 3 small parsnips, peeled, roughly chopped
Instructions:
  • Cut the lamb into bite-sized 3cm pieces and season generously with salt and pepper. In a large, heavy-based saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook half of the lamb for 2 to 3 minutes until nicely browned, then transfer to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining lamb pieces.
  • Halve the leeks, then add them along with garlic to the pan with the lamb and its juices. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook for another minute.
  • Pour in 3 cups of stock and add thyme, bay leaves, and half of the parsley. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat. Place a sheet of baking paper on the surface before covering it with a lid. Let it simmer for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the lamb is tender.
  • Remove the baking paper and bay leaves. Introduce turnips, carrots, parsnip, and any extra stock needed. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes until vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper, garnish with the remaining parsley, and serve.
