Lancashire Hotpot
by Cass Titcombe, Dominic Lake & Patrick Clayton-Malone <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
from Canteen – Great British Food (Ebury)
Ìý
Few ingredients are needed to make this flavoursome potato-topped stew.Ìý Although lamb is normally used today, we make our hotpot with mutton, which was common up until the Second World War.Ìý We think the stronger mutton flavour works best.
Ìý
Serves 6
Ìý
Prep time 15 mins
Cooking time 3hrs
Ìý
Ingredients
50g butter
250g onions, sliced
1kg boned leg of mutton, cut in 3-4cm dice
150g carrots, sliced
10g fresh thyme, leaves picked
3 bay leaves
700g floury potatoes, such as Maris Piper, peeled & thinly sliced
500ml meat stock
100ml pale ale
salt & black pepper
Ìý
Method
Preheat the oven to 135C/Gas mark 1.Ìý Heat up half of the butter in a saucepan, add the onions & sweat over a low heat for about 15 mins or until soft & translucent but not browned.
Place the meat in an ovenproof dish & add the onions, carrots, thyme & bay leaves.Ìý Season well with salt & pepper & mix together.
Arrange the potato slices on top of the meat & vegetable mix, overlapping the slices slightly.Ìý Melt the remaining butter & brush over the potatoes.Ìý Season with salt.
Pour the stock & ale into the dish, then cover it.Ìý Cook in the oven for 2hrs.
Remove the cover from the dish & increase the oven temperature to 150C/Gas Mark 2.Ìý Continue cooking for 30-45mins until the potato top is browned.
Ìý
NB. You can also make this hotpot with neck of lamb instead of mutton.Ìý Reduce the cooking time in step 4 to 1½ hrs.
