Lamb stew

This is a liquid lamb stew—or you can think of it as a very meaty soup. Do not use flour to thicken the sauce; if you want it thicker, use thick santen or less water.

This is really a main course, and very satisfying for a small lunch party or a family supper; but a moderate helping of it makes a good first course, to be followed perhaps by fish.
