About

One of the best cuts of lamb, in my opinion, comes from the end of the neck. It’s a stewing meat, so needs long, slow cooking but it’s packed with a strong flavour. It’s very underrated as a cut and consequently is very cheap; one of the cheapest, in fact.

Ingredients

Method

Heat the oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas 6).

Season the lamb chunks with salt and pepper. Heat a large, heavy-based casserole (Dutch oven) over a medium heat. Add the oil and once hot, add the meat and keep it turning until it is sealed and golden brown on all sides – you may need to
