Steps:

  • Coat the meat in the seasoned flour, shake off the excess flour
  • Heat some oil in a heavy based casserole dish and brown the lamb really well on all sides.
  • Remove the lamb from the pan and pour in the bottle of white wine, scrape any meaty bits off the bottom of the pan and reduce the wine by half.
  • Add the stock, onions, tomatoes, garlic and meat to the wine and heat through gently on the hob. Check seasoning and adjust if necessary.
  • Cover the casserole dish and put into a preheated oven for about an hour-and-a-half at 180°C. Once the cooking is finished, take it out of the oven.
  • With a slotted spoon take the meat out of the sauce and put on a plate to one side.
  • Pass the sauce through a sieve; discard the vegetables and bouquet garni what is in the sieve
  • Return the sauce to the pan and reduce slightly and thicken it with a little flour if necessary. Check flavour and adjust seasoning to taste if you need to
  • Once the sauce has been corrected and cooked through, return the meat to the sauce, gently heat through and add the spring vegetables.
