For this dish, you can use the shoulder or other slightly tougher cuts of lamb. This meat is very tasty and juicy, but it requires a bit more time to cook or roast than more tender cuts.

List of ingredients

3.3 lbs. shoulder of lamb, diced

A small amount of oil

3 onions

1 celeriac

5 apples

¼ gal of lamb stock

1 cinnamon stick

A pinch of salt

2 celery stalks, cut into small pieces

PREPARATION:

• Use a large casserole dish and brown the meat in a small amount of oil. Cut the onions, celeriac and 3 of the apples into small and large pieces and add to the casserole.

• When the vegetables are tender add the lamb stock and a cinnamon stick and bring the casserole to the boil. Allow simmering for 1 to 1½ hours. Keep an eye on the casserole and add a bit more water if it starts to boil dry.
