lamb casserole

Tried your lamb casserole minus the sweet potato and green pepper ('cos I didn't have any) - Lovely!
Did it in the slow cooker using some lamb chump chops which I cut into cubes of sorts. It will become a staple recipe in our house from now on.

Not sure about pumpkin but sainsburys have butternut squash at half price so I may substitute the sweet potato for this. I may have this next weekend, sounds tasty.

Made a casserole based on this recipe today; diced onion, fried with some lazy garlic and diced lamb, add diced sweet potato and chunky cut courgettes; add tin of chunky chopped tomatoes, dried herbs to own taste and a tin of cannellini beans. Couple of tablespoons of water and a good dash of worcestershire sauce instead of a stock cube ... cooked on stove for about 4 minutes but then had to dash out for a swim so put in oven for 1 1/2 hours at 190C, and it was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. Veggies held their shape really well.

Hi All,

Been fiddling about making a lamb casserole and came up with a version that really was delicious so thought I would share it with everybody..

Serves 2
2 pieces Lamb fillet
1 red onion
1 large sweet potato
1 tin cherry tomatoes
1 green pepper
1 chicken stock cube
1 tablespoon plain flour
2 tablespoons tomato puree
small amount of garlic
few mustard seeds
teaspoon of ground coriander
3 tablespoons water
2 large sprigs of rosemary.

Cut all the fat off the lamb and cut into cubes. Fry this off gently in a frying pan to brown the meat with the onion and garlic. Add the sweet potato cut into chunks. Then add the flour and blend in and then the other ingredients except the rosemary. Bring to the boil then place into a casserole dish with the 2 springs of rosemary resting on the top and then cover with a lid or piece of foil and cook for around an hour and 15 to an hour and a half on 190c.

Tastes gorgeous!

I always find lamb fiddly to slice or dice because of the fat, I didnt think to buy chump chops, the ones I've bought in the past havent been as fatty as a joint of lamb, (not that I buy it often, so forgive my ignorance) I'm definitely gonna try this recipe now.

Just pleased that I can contribute to the board for a change, after all the fab ideas and money I have saved already from posts by others on here.

Its a large orange squash with pale orange skin - has a kind of bell shape. When you cut it open it smells a bit like an orange melon. Lots of seeds inside which you should scoop out. Then I drizzle with olive oil and roast for the same amount of time as roast potatoes and then take the skin off. It is soft and has the most delicious flavour. In my opinion roast chicken, butternut squash and chardonnay are the best thing on an autumn sunday ever! (Except currently pregnant, so fantasizing about the chardonnay!).
