One of my mothers classic recipes that she makes regularly over the cooler months, we love it, she always tops hers with sliced potatoes which makes it a one dish meal but I love serving it with creamy mashed potatoes.
Its a pretty old fashioned recipe, very wholesome, made with very basic ingredients that creates a tasty dish and if there are any leftovers its even better the next day.
It is baked in the oven for a couple of hours to produce tender lamb and vegetables in a delicious gravy. Mum has also made it in the slow cooker and it is just as good.
