Chop the onions finely.
Chop the garlic finely.
Chop the potatoes into small cubes.
Slice the carrots into thin slices.

Roll the cubed lamb in the flour so that all the lamb is covered (keep the remaining flour). Pour
half the olive oil into a pan on a medium heat. Fry the lamb for four or five minutes, stirring

pour on the white wine. |

Fry the streaky bacon until it just begins to crisp, chop into small pieces and add to the slow
cooker.
Fry the onions and garlic for four minutes in the remaining oil on a medium heat. Add the tomatoes,
stock, salt and pepper, then cook for four more minutes until it is all warmed through, then add to
the slow cooker. Sprinkle the saved flour into the slow cooker and stir well. |
