COOK'S NOTES
The slow cooker should set to low. Cooking time is anywhere between 7 to 10 hours.

PREPARATION

Peel the potatoes and the onions. Top and tail the onions and carrots. Thinly slice the carrots and onions and dice the potatoes into 1cm/½ in cubes.

METHOD

Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in the frying pan to a medium heat and brown the chops quickly on both sides, then put them in the slow cooker. Leave the juices in the pan.

Add the vegetables to the pan and cook them for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Stir in the flour, then gradually add the stock and the remiander of the ingredients.  Bring this just to the boil and transfer to the slow cooker stirring well.  If at this stage the stew looks a little thick just add some more stock.

Cover and cook on low for about 7 - 10 hours or less if it seems to be cooked earlier. Serve onto hot plates. We served our stew with a mixture of our favourite vegetables and roast potatoes. This casserole freezes very well and only requires re-heating.
