Modern Irish Stew

• 12 lamb chops
• 1 lb baby onion
• 1 1/2 lbs tiny new potatoes
• 9 ounces baby carrots
• 6 sprigs thyme
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 cups lamb stock
• salt & freshly ground black pepper
• parsley, chopped
• chives, chopped

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F Brown the chops in a non-stick frying pan, then layer up in a large flameproof casserole with the vegetables and thyme, seasoning between layers.
2. Pour off the excess fat from the frying pan and add the flour. Stir well to make a paste, then cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the stock to make a smooth sauce and bring to the boil.
3. Pour the liquid over the meat and vegetables and bring to a simmer on the hob. Cover and cook in the lower half of the oven for 2 hours or until the lamb is tender.
4. Garnish with the freshly chopped herbs and serve with green vegetables, if wished.
