3
tbsp 
all-purpose flour
2
tbsp 
vegetable oil

onions, thinly sliced
3

Cooking Instructions:

Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F).
Toss lamb chunks in flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
In a large pan, heat oil and brown the lamb pieces. Transfer to a casserole dish.
In the same pan, sauté onions, carrots, and leeks until softened.
Add vegetables to the casserole dish with lamb, and mix in bay leaves.
Pour stock and Worcestershire sauce over the mixture.
Arrange sliced potatoes on top, overlapping slightly. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
Cover the dish and bake for 1.5 hours. Then, uncover and bake for a further 30 minutes or until potatoes are golden.
Let the hotpot rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes:

Lamb shoulder can be substituted with beef or mutton.
For a thicker gravy, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water and add it to the stew before baking.
