If you are looking to perfect the art of cooking lamb neck fillet, we'll guide you through a recipe that's perfect for cosy dinners and special occasions alike.

Ingredients You'll Need:

  • 500g of lamb neck fillet
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 potatoes, diced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 5 litres of lamb or vegetable broth
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Lamb Neck: Start by cutting your lamb neck fillet into bite-sized pieces. Season them with salt, pepper, and paprika, ensuring every piece is coated evenly.
  1. Sear the Lamb: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the lamb pieces and sear them until they turn brown on all sides. This step helps to lock in the juices and intensify the flavour.
  1. Sauté the Aromatics: Reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for a few minutes until they become fragrant and translucent.
  1. Add Vegetables and Herbs: Toss in the carrots, celery, and potatoes. Stir in the dried thyme and bay leaf for a lovely aromatic touch.
  1. Simmer to Perfection: Pour in the lamb or vegetable broth, making sure it covers all the ingredients. Bring the stew to a gentle simmer, then cover and let it cook for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the lamb neck becomes tender and the flavours meld together beautifully. Stir occasionally.
  1. Serve and Enjoy: Once the lamb neck stew reaches your desired level of tenderness, remove the bay leaf, and give it a final seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Ladle it into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.

For those who prefer a hands-off approach, this lamb neck fillet stew can also be prepared in a slow cooker. Simply follow the same steps, but transfer everything to your slow cooker and let it simmer on low for 6-8 hours.

Cooking lamb neck fillet to make a delightful stew is a truly rewarding experience. The succulent, tender meat combined with the rich flavours of the vegetables and herbs creates a dish that's sure to please even the most discerning palate.
