Easy-peasy Lamb stew!



This was quite a success. I shared some with my friend Connor and then kept the rest to have again with Kieran at the weekend.
I was cooking at my cousins as I was house sitting for her that week, and to my despair I realised she had no salt, pepper or seasonings. So I made it as simply as I could, which means this is a handy recipe for anyone who isn't that skilled in the kitchen.

Ingredients:
- diced leg of lamb (enough for about 3-4 people)
- one onion
- several cloves of garlic
- two sachets of mint lamb gravy
- roughly chopped carrots (say one per person)
- dwarf beans
- whole mushrooms
- potatoes for mash



I lightly fried the lamb, garlic, onions and mushrooms to soften them up and then made up the gravy to pour on top. I then prepared the veg, threw it in the pot with the lamb and left it to simmer away for an hour. It was delicious served with a big pile of mashed tatties! :)

To store, wait until its cooled down and then put it in a sealed box in the fridge and eat within a couple days. Only reheat once.
