Lamb Scouse
- 500g lamb chunks
- 1 tbsp flour
- 3 tbsp oil
- 1 chopped onion
- 4 chopped carrots
- 350g turnip, swede, or similar, chopped
- 250ml ale
- 250ml chicken stock
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 sprigs of thyme
- 2 beef stock cubes
- 500g potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- Pickled beetroot, to serve
- Toss the meat in the flour, and season well. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a casserole, and brown the meat all over. Remove, and set aside. Reduce the heat and add 2 tbsp of oil to the casserole, followed by the carrots and turnips. Season, and cook for about 8 mins to soften and colour. Return the meat to the dish, along with the ale, herbs, stock, stock cubes, and more seasoning.
- Bring the whole lot up to the boil, then simmer and place the chopped potatoes on top of the scouse. Cook for 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender and the potatoes are soft. Serve hot with pickled beetroot - yummy!
