Ingredients

• 1 large bunch spring onions, chopped
• 2 large fennel bulbs, finely sliced with stalks removed
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
• 2 long red chillies, deseeded if you prefer and chopped
• 2 teaspoons oregano
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Cracked black pepper, to taste
• 1 kg diced lamb
• 1 bunch flat leaf parsley, stalks included
• Water, lamb broth or vegetable stock - quantity varies depending on cooking method, please see below.

Method

1. On the stovetop heat a medium element and place a large saucepan and add the oil.
2. Once the oil has been heated, add the onions to the pan and sauté for ten minutes on a low to medium heat (being careful not to burn).
3. Add the fennel, garlic, chilli, oregano and pepper and sauté for a further ten minutes stirring regularly.
4. Turn up the heat and add the lamb, cooking for approximately 5 minutes or until browned whilst stirring regularly.
5. There are three ways you can cook this recipe further - either on the stovetop, in a casserole dish in the oven or in a slow cooker.
6. It is always good to have a check on the stew during the cooking time you have chosen to make sure the flavours are balanced and the moisture is not lost.
7. When the lamb casserole is ready, stir through the freshly chopped parsley and sprinkle some over the top just before serving.

Option 1: On the stove top you will need to make sure to stir the stew regularly so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Also checking regularly that the moisture is not lost - You may need to add a little stock or water if this is the case. Ideally cook for 1-2 hours so the lamb is tender.

Option 2: Transfer into an oven casserole dish, add 1 cup of vegetarian or lamb broth and cook for 2 hours on 130 °C.

Option 3: Transfer into a slow cooker and add 1 cup of vegetarian or lamb broth and cook on low temperature up to 6-8 hours.
