Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Welsh lamb (shoulder or neck, cubed)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 onions, diced
  • 2 leeks, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 parsnips, diced

Instructions

  1. Season the lamb with salt and pepper. In a skillet over high heat, brown the lamb in vegetable oil until seared on all sides. Set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add butter to sauté onions and leeks until softened but not browned.
  3. Stir in plain flour and a bit of stock to create a gravy base. Add Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, garlic paste, and cranberry sauce; mix well.
  4. Transfer the gravy mixture to the slow cooker along with the browned lamb. Add chopped carrots, parsnips, bay leaves, and remaining stock; stir to combine.
  5. Layer thinly sliced potatoes on top of the mixture and season with thyme.
  6. Cover and cook on HIGH for 7–8 hours until meat is tender.
  7. Brush potatoes with melted butter and place under a grill until edges are crispy.
