HOW TO MAKE LAMB CASSEROLE WITH APRICOTS AND PRUNES

Method

  1. Heat the vegetable oil and butter in a frying pan. Dust the diced lamb with flour and fry a few pieces at a time until well browned, then transfer to a large saucepan.
  2. When all the meat has been browned, add the onions, garlic and carrots to the pan and cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes. Add all the spices and continue to cook for a couple of minutes.
  3. Add the cooked vegetables and spices to the lamb, pour over the wine and add 150ml (1/4pt) water. Add the prunes and apricots, and give everything a good stir. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover the pan with a lid and cook over a gentle heat for 11/2 to 13/4 hours, or until the lamb is tender.
