  This has become one of my favourite recipes. I cook it in the slow cooker and have so far done it with beef rather than lamb and added a can of stout for extra taste.

  This is a fantastic dish! I used neck of lamb, on the bone, and made enough for five. Chop off any fatty bits first and, as a slow cooker won't be big enough, use a big stock pot. I went out for the afternoon and cooked it on 100 for 5 hours and then turned it up for an hour to 180. I added dumplings for the last 30 minutes. Other than the cut of meat I followed the recipe exactly and it was lovely.

  I convinced my husband to make this. He made it veg by substituting the lamb with Field Roast brand apple sage sausages and the bacon with Tofurkey brand Maple Tempeh "Bacon", crumbled into really small pieces, so as not to overwhelm the flavour of the stew. What a great recipe!

  Made this for a dinnerparty last night and it was a huge success. I followed the tip to let it stand 24h begore. Used a little bit more potatoes (Charlotte potatoes) and a little bit more lamb (1100g) and my shop was out of fresh thyme so used dried instead. It was absolutely delicious and so easy to prepare. Plus no effort at all on the dinner night so I could spend more time with my guests. Will definately be making again.

  Lovely and have tried this, but do think that it is somewhat deceptive in ingredients and appearance as I am Irish and this was something I ate and enjoyed as opposed to the stuff i have shirked at my whole life

  Have made this recipe twice now and loved by all the family. Second time left out the bacon but still delicious and a lot cheaper than roasting a joint. Leftovers the next day were just as good.

  This was unbelievably good. Can't recommend it highly enough. I usually add a little beer and marmite to make it a little richer.
