Method

  1. Pat the diced lamb pieces dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle the flour onto a plate and season with salt and pepper. Coat the lamb in the flour and shake off any excess.
  2. Heat the oil in a saucepan and cook the lamb for 3-4 minutes, or until lightly browned on all sides.
  3. Add the onion, carrot, leek and mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 40 minutes, or until the lamb is tender. Add a little water if the stew becomes to dry. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the potato in lightly salted boiling water for 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain and mash with the milk and margarine/butter until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. To serve, divide the mash between two plates and spoon on the lamb stew.
