Irish stew


Whether you cook it in a slow cooker or in the oven, this Irish stew is hearty and delicious!

Ingredients (serves 6)
* 1.25kg lamb neck chops, trimmed
* 1/2 cup plain flour
* 3 brown onions, chopped
* 1kg sebago potatoes, peeled, sliced
* 2 carrots, peeled, thinly sliced into rounds
* 2 tablespoons tomato paste
* 3 cups boiling water
* 3 beef stock cubes, crumbled
* 1 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
* 1/4 cup mint leaves, chopped, to serve


Method
1. Cut chops in half. Place flour in a plastic bag and season with salt and pepper. Place chops in bag and shake well to coat. Transfer chops to a plate. Reserve flour.
2. Preheat oven to 130°C. Place onions, potatoes and carrots in an ovenproof dish. Top with half the chops. Repeat layers with remaining onions, potatoes, carrots and chops.
3. Whisk reserved flour, tomato paste and 2 tablespoons cold water in a large jug until well combined. Slowly add boiling water, whisking constantly. Add stock cubes and parsley. Stir to dissolve stock cubes.
4. Pour flour mixture over chops. Cover and cook for 4 hours or until meat tender and sauce thickened. Sprinkle with mint and serve.

Notes & tips
* Tip: You can also cook this stew in a slow cooker. Combine the ingredients as above and cook on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours.
