Ingredients

8
lamb chops, fat and bones removed, and meat cubed
1 l
(2¼ pints) hot chicken stock
1 Tbsp.
rapeseed oil
1
red onion, finely sliced
2
carrots, peeled and sliced
2
celery sticks, roughly chopped
400 g
(14oz) waxy potatoes, cubed
2
rosemary sprigs
75 g
(3oz) frozen peas
1 Tbsp.
freshly chopped mint

Directions

1. Step 1
  Heat a large non-stick pan and brown the lamb over a medium heat - in batches if necessary. Remove and set aside in a bowl. Add a little of the hot stock to the pan, stir to mix in any flavoursome stickiness from the base of the pan (this is called deglazing), then add this liquid to the bowl containing the browned lamb.
2. Step 2
  Heat the oil and add the onion, carrots and celery. Cover and cook gently for 10min, adding a splash of water if the mixture looks dry.
3. Step 3
  Return the lamb to the pan, along with the potatoes, rosemary and remaining stock. Simmer for 15min, skimming off any scum that appears on the surface. Stir in the peas and check the seasoning. Ladle into bowls and garnish with mint.
