Pour in the stock and dot the top with butter. Cover and cook for 1 hour.
  2. Take off the lid and cook for a further 30 minutes until the top is crisp and golden.

    I made this for the first time on Sunday - haven't eaten lamb for years and am so glad that I introduced it back into my diet with this scrummy dish :) Definately be making it again.

    Absolutely gorgeous and easy to prepare! I used chopped lamb but also added a little tomato puree to the stock, some chopped rosemary and garlic. My partner ended up having two plates full, leaving me with no leftovers for my lunch (boo.... hiss)!

    Very easy to cook and excellent family meal. Left to cook for 2 hours so the lamb fell off the bone perfectly. Family loved it.

    Made this Monday night, took me about an hour to prep the veg. I added button chestnut mushrooms, and still felt it could have done with more veg. I used Lamb Rump and dont like all the bones with chops. I halved the ingredients as it was just for 2 - but wish I had made the full amount as it was lovely! Would def make it again :)

    I've made this several times - really easy and yummy and very forgiving on timing. I always add more veggies though - pumpkin and/or sweet potato add a natural sweetness and make it a true one pot meal. As my parsley has been invaded by white fly, I'm using dried thyme and rosemary and so far, it's tasting pretty good too.

    This has become a firm favourite in our house. Simple flavours that work well together, tender meat from the slow cooking, and quick and simple to prepare - what more could you ask for from a recipe??!!

    I have been making Lancashire Hotpot (very similar) for years, but I add sliced parsnip and aubergine (lightly fried before adding) as well as the potato and carrot. Delicious. I add a little cornflour in milk just before the end to give the sauce a thicker consistency. :-0

    Bought some lovely reduced cubed lamb on Waitrose meat counter & was looking for a great recipe... so I went for this one! Used lamb seasoning when I fried the lamb for some added flavour. But added fresh parsley as recipe. I added some extra carrots & potatoes as I had loads to use up! After an hour the carrots were still quite hard even though I had sliced them quite thinly. The butter had melted into the potatoes - so added a little more. Turned the gas up to no.5 and left the lid off for last half an hour! The smell is delicious & everyone keeps asking how much longer...so after 15 minutes it was not browning - turned the gas up to gas Mark 9 and cooked for the remaining 15 mins plus 10 mins more! whilst I cooked some savoy cabbage to go with it - also served with crusty bread! It was perfect! If I wasn't being harassed to serve dinner I would have left it for longer...will make again!
