Ingredients

Method

  1. Dice the lamb and set aside. Preheat oven to 325°F / 170°C / Gas mark 3.
  2. Add a layer of the potatoes to the bottom of a casserole dish, and cover with a handful of the diced onion. Layer the diced lamb on top of this, sprinkling with the herbs.
  3. Repeat these layers until the dish is full. Top with a final layer of the potatoes.
  4. Pour boiling water into the dish until filled—if more water is needed, continue to add until topped.
  5. Bake for at least 1 hour, though traditionally the dish was left baking all day. Mutton will require a longer cooking time.
