Lamb and Prune Casserole
1 cup dried pitted prunes
1 1/4 cups light beer (live a little)
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 lb shallots
2 lb shoulder of lamb, cubed
1 1/4 cups stock
salt and freshly grounded pepper
1/2 lb sliced carrots
1/4 cup cornstarch, mixed with a little water
In a smallish bowl, soak the prunes
in the beer for 1 to 2 hours. Get the oil good and hot then fry
the shallots for a minute or two. Add the cubed lamb and fry until
it is browned. (It doesn't need to cook all the way through.) Add
everything else but the cornstarch. Bring this to a boil and simmer
for half an hour. As it simmers, thicken it up with the cornstarch.
Transfer everything to a baking dish and bake it at 350 for about
an hour. |
