  Really lovely - the meat just fell off the bone. I thought the potato needed a little longer though so next time I'll pop them in the tray a little earlier.

  I think the cooking time is three and a half hours followed by a further one hour once the veg have been added.

  Amazing! Will definitely make again. Made this for a post Xmas lunch for friends and everyone loved it, including the children (all under 5). Substituted the wine for approx. 1 litre homemade chicken stock (for around 3kg of lamb) because of the children, but think this still worked. Next time I may add a bit more stock to it for more of the gravy. Wasn't sure what type of potato to use, so used desiree as they don't tend to fall apart when slow cooking. Will use the leftovers for a scotch broth as well.

  Delicious. I added the tomatoes only half an hour before the end and was perfect.

  Absolutely delicious. Added the wine too early and forgot to add the tomatoes but it didn't detract from the tastiness. Also used desiree potatoes and turned oven up at the end for about 15 minutes to crisp up the edges of vegetables. Will definitely make again.

  Absolutely delicous, everything just melted in the mouth. The easiest dinner I have ever done. I put onions, carrots, parsnips, celery under the meat. I put small slashes in the meat, then rubbed in, garlic, salt and black pepper, rosemary, thyme, and then squeezed lemon juice all over. Hour and a half before end of cooking I put in thick slices of potatoe (Desiree), and sweet potatoe. I didn't use wine, I used vegetable stock instead. The whole meal took 5 hours, and I reduced the heat to 170c, after the first 30 mins of cooking open on a heat setting of 200c. I left to rest for 10 mins, then I thickened the juices in the roasting pan. I left the carrots, parsnips, and celery whole, but thickly sliced the onions. I can see this is going to be used again, and again, and again. Totally effortless cooking, with the most perfect result.

  Tried this last night - dinner party for 8. Changed the potatoes for sweet potatoes, put them in 30 mins from end cooking time and served it with mash, fine green beans and tender stem broccoli. Fantastic dish. Will most certainly be serving this at future dinner parties. So easy. Very tasty.
