Step-by-step
- Roll the lamb pieces in well seasoned flour and fry over a medium heat in the butter until nicely coloured.
- Remove the lamb from the casserole. Scatter over the onions; add the carrots and swede, followed by the remaining ingredients, and enough dark ale to just cover the lamb. Put on a tight fitting lid and cook in the oven at 180C for 2 hours or thereabouts until totally tender.
- 20 minutes before the finish cooking time, add the potato, leaving the lid off for the remaining cooking time. This will enable the juice to thicken while the potato cooks.
- Serve with buttered kale with plenty of black pepper. Scatter over with finely chopped parsley.
