Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large casserole. Tip in the lamb and cook for 5 mins until any liquid has disappeared, then add the onion, carrots and leeks. Cook for 5 mins more, stirring often, until the veg is starting to soften.
  2. Pour over the stock, add the rosemary, cover with a lid and cook over a low heat for 1 hr. Stir in the beans and cook for 30 mins more, topping up with water if necessary, until the lamb is tender and cooked through. Serve with some crusty bread or potatoes, if you like.

    Made something similar yesterday. Just ideal for the first frosty day of the year. Try it.

    Really tasty! I saved a bit of money by using dried beans that I soaked overnight and cubed a leg of lamb myself rather than buying the ready chopped stuff. I stirred in some flour before adding the stock to make the sauce a bit thicker. A big hit with my 2 year old which is great as it freezes well.

    This is a very easy stew to make and tastes great. However, I made it for 4 'normal' sized adults. I increased the veg (4 carrots and 3 leeks) but fund that, even with this increase, there really wasn't enough for each of us to have a decent sized portion. Served it with crusty bread and new potatoes, which helped to pad it out but really would have wanted more stew. I think there needs to be a 50% increase in the meat and veg. The other thing I found was that putting the beans in 30 mins before the end wasn't quite long enough - I'd recommend 45 mins, unless you like your beans a bit 'crunchy'. I would definitely make this again, but next time I'd make the above changes.

    Excellent result used dried thyme instead of Rosemary and added a few chopped mushrooms.
