Method

  • step 1

    Toss the lamb in the flour with a little salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan, add the onion and fry for 5 mins until softened. Add the lamb and stir well until tinged brown.

  • step 2

    Stir in the stock, 2 tablespoons of the dill and the bay leaf. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 30 mins.

  • step 3

    Add the potatoes and lemon juice and cook for a further 30 mins until the potatoes are tender. Serve in soup plates or individual dishes with a spoonful of crème fraîche and a scattering of lemon zest and dill on each serving. Some crusty bread on the side will be useful for mopping up all the juices.

This is absolutely amazing. I tweaked the recipe slightly, because I wanted to cook it in a slow cooker. I added potatoes and carrots and then followed the recipe, cooking it all for 8 hours on low.

This was tasty. It took a lot longer to cook than the time stated but that is usually the case with this type of dish I find. I made it as stated with the exception that I used freeze-dried dill in the cooking (deliberately, as I knew it was going to take longer and dried herbs work better in…

question

Will beef work?

Hi there, thanks for getting in touch, unfortunately we don't think the lemon and dill flavours will work as well with beef. Lamb has a sweeter, more subtle flavour.

It's a posh Irish stew. I first used this recipe 7 years ago at university, I found it again and made it for my fiancé this week and he loved it. Really tasty, lamb melts in your mouth. Yum!
