Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Welsh lamb (shoulder or neck, cubed)
  • 2 onions (diced)
  • 2 leeks (white parts only, finely diced)
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken stock
  • 2 carrots (cut into small cubes)
  • 2 parsnips (peeled and diced)
  • 3 large baking potatoes (sliced thinly)
  • Salt and pepper (to season)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (to brown lamb)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 1 tsp garlic paste or fresh minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • ½ tbsp cranberry sauce or seedless raspberry jam
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme
  • 1 tbsp melted butter for brushing
  • Rosemary sprig (to garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over high heat and brown the lamb until seared on all sides. Set aside.
  2. In the same pan, add butter and sauté onions and leeks until softened but not browned.
  3. Stir in flour and a small amount of stock to create a thick gravy. Add Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, garlic, and cranberry sauce if using.
  4. Transfer the browned lamb and sautéed mix into the slow cooker. Pour in remaining stock, then add carrots, parsnips, and bay leaves.
  5. Layer sliced potatoes over the top, season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Cover and cook on HIGH for 7-8 hours.
  6. For added texture, brush melted butter over potatoes before finishing under a grill for 5-7 minutes until crispy.
