Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Frying Pan
  • Grill (broiler)

Ingredients
  

For browning

  • 1 tbsp oil of your choice
  • 1-2 tbsp plain flour to coat the lamb
  • Pinch black pepper added to the flour

Ingredients

  • 500 g Lamb neck fillet cut into chunks
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 2 Garlic cloves minced
  • 250 ml Beef stock or lamb stock
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Tomato puree
  • 1/2 tbsp Dried thyme
  • 2 Carrots diced
  • 100 g Frozen peas
  • 2 Bay leaves

To thicken, at the end

  • 1 tbsp Cornflour slurry

Don't forget

  • Mashed potatoes to top the pie!

Instructions
 

  • Cut your lamb neck fillet into chunks. Optionally lightly coat the lamb in plain flour with a pinch of black pepper.
  • In a hot pan with a little oil, brown the lamb on all sides. Do this in batches if needed.
  • Turn the temperature down to a medium heat. Sauté the onions for a few minutes. Then add garlic and cook for a further few minutes.
  • In the slow cooker, combine all ingredients (except for the cornflour slurry and mashed potatoes) and stir well.
  • Cook on low for 7-8 hours.
  • Optional: after the slow cook, carefully thicken the mixture by adding small amounts of cornflour (mixed with a little warm water first) and stirring well.
  • Transfer the mixture to a pie dish, top with mashed potato and rough up the surface with a fork.
  • Place under a hot grill for 5-10 minutes until a lovely golden brown colour.
