Instructions

Steps

  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (fan 140°C, gas mark 3).
  2. In a large shallow casserole dish, melt butter and brown the lamb in batches. Once browned, set aside on a plate.
  3. Next, brown the lamb kidneys in the same pan.
  4. Add sliced onions and carrots to the pan, cooking until golden.
  5. Sprinkle in plain flour and cook for a couple of minutes, then mix in Worcestershire sauce and pour in the chicken stock. Bring this mixture to a boil.
  6. Stir the browned meat and bay leaves into the pot, then turn off the heat.
  7. Layer the sliced potatoes over the meat and drizzle with extra butter.
  8. Cover the dish and place it in the oven for about 1½ hours, or until the potatoes are cooked through.
  9. Remove the lid, brush the potatoes with more butter, then increase the oven temperature to brown the potatoes, or place under the grill for 5-8 minutes until golden brown.
