Time 8h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 c all purpose flour
3 lb neck of lamb, trimmed of all visible fat (if you aren't a lamb fan, you can sustitute beef instead)

3 large carrots, sliced
4 starchy potatoes, such as russets, yukon golds or white rounds; quartered
1/2 tsp dried thyme
3 1/2 c hot beef stock
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
salt and pepper

  • 2. Layer your onions, carrots and potatoes on top of the lamb.
  • 3. Sprinkle in the thyme and pour in the beef stock. Cover and cook in preheated oven for 7-8 hours. Garnish with the parsley and serve straight from your dutch oven.
