Ingredients
- 6 to 8 Lamb Chops - middle neck
- 4 Potatoes
- 2 Onions
- To taste Pepper
- To taste Salt
- ½ pint Stock - Chicken or Lamb
Method
- 1. Place all the ingredients in a heavy casserole pot or "Hot Pot" - which is the traditional brown pottery dish with straight sides.
2. Pour in the stock to cover the contents while cooking.
3. Bake on a low heat in the oven all day (say 6 hours). A slow cooker is also perfect for this job.
Tips
- There are many regional variations and you may wish to add other root vegetable if you like e.g. carrot, turnip or leeks to give it that Welsh influence. Traditionally the entire surface of the "pot" is covered with sliced potato or pastry before going into the oven. One may also use beef instead of lamb.
Pickled red cabbage is often served as an accompaniment.

Hi Kenny, sounds delicious and I'd like to try it. How low would you set the oven at? Thanks

Hi Terry - I usually set the oven at around 100C - but it then does take quite a while to cook, but you can always turn it up for the last half hour or so to finish it off.
