Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 1.2 kg potatoes
- 2 large onions
- 2 medium carrots
- 500 ml vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons plain flour
- 50 g butter
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly into roughly 5mm slices. Peel and thinly slice the onions and carrots.
Season the lamb chops with salt and black pepper.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, ovenproof casserole dish over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb chops on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side) in batches, then set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same dish. Once melted, stir in the flour to create a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Gradually add the vegetable stock, whisking continuously to avoid lumps, until a smooth gravy forms. Stir in the thyme and rosemary.
Layer half of the potato slices in the bottom of the casserole dish. Follow with half of the onions and carrots. Arrange the browned lamb chops on top.
Add the remaining onions and carrots over the lamb, then layer the rest of the potatoes on top, overlapping slightly to create a 'shingled' effect.
Brush the top potato layer with a small amount of melted butter or oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Cover the casserole dish with a lid (or foil, if a lid is not available) and bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 hours.
After 1.5 hours, remove the lid or foil and increase the oven temperature to 200°C (390°F). Cook for an additional 20-30 minutes, until the potato topping is golden and crispy.
Remove the hot pot from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm, topped with fresh thyme or rosemary if desired.
