Method

  1. 1

    Heat a large pot and brown the lamb in batches for 8 minutes, then lift out.

  2. 2

    Add the onion to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, then return the lamb with the carrots, potatoes, bay leaves and stock.

  3. 3

    Bring to a simmer, cover and cook gently for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Add the leeks for the final 15 minutes of cooking, until the lamb is tender and cooked through with no pink remaining.

  5. 5

    Remove the bay leaves, season with black pepper and serve in deep bowls.
