EASY LAMB STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish. Add the meat in batches and brown over a high heat for 5 mins, then lift onto a plate. Tip in the onions and carrots, and cook for 8-10 mins until starting to colour. Scatter over the flour and stir for a few minutes, then stir in the tomato purée and cook for a few minutes more. Tip the meat and any resting juices back into the dish and stir well. Pour over the stock, tuck in the herbs and season well. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat.

Once cooled, the stew can be chilled and frozen for up to three months - defrost completely before reheating on the hob for 5 mins over a medium heat, until piping hot. Leave to settle for a minute or two, then serve with mash and greens.

SCOTCH BROTH WITH KALE

• Reduce heat and simmer gently, turning lamb pieces occasionally and skimming any foam that rises to the surface, until meat is tender and beginning to fall apart, about 2 hours. (If the water level threatens to fall below the meat during simmering, partially cover the pot, or add a little more water.)

Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with parsley and a drizzle of vinegar or lemon juice.
