IRISH STEW WITH HERBY DUMPLINGS

Mutton has the most amazing flavour, and slow-cooking it gives it a beautiful soft texture, too.

SERVES 6

  • 600g (1741b) stewing mutton or lamb
  • 2tbsp flour
  • 2tbsp olive oil
  • 600g (174b) potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 600g (1741b) carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 bay leaves

For the dumplings:

  • 200g (7oz) butter
  • 350g (12oz) self-raising flour
  • 3tbsp fresh chopped herbs (we used rosemary parsley and chives)

1. Heat the oven to 140C/ Gas 1. Dust the meat with flour and season well. Add the oil to a large pan and brown the meat. Add the remaining stew ingredients along with 500ml (16fl oz) water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 mins.

2. Cover and transfer to the oven, and cook for 3 hrs. Return to the hob and bring to a boil for 15 mins, until the potatoes thicken the sauce.

3. For the dumplings, rub together the butter and flour until you have a breadcrumb-like consistency. Pour in 200ml (7 fl oz) cold water, add the herbs and roughly combine. Once a dough has formed, roll into 16 small balls. Place the dumplings on top of the stew, cover and cook for 30 mins, until cooked through.
