List of Ingredients
1.3 kg (approximately 2-1/2 to 3 pounds) mutton neck chops
4 medium carrots
4 medium onions
15g / 1/2 ounce/ 1 Tbsp butter
Pinch salt and pepper
600ml / 1 pint / 2-1/2 cups stock or water
4 potatoes
1 Tbsp chopped parsley
1 Tbsp chopped chives
Mutton fat or good drippings
Recipe
Shred some of the mutton fat and render it down in a heavy casserole. Peel onions and potatoes, scrape carrots. Cut the meat into 8 pieces; only excess fat is cut away. Bones need not be removed. Cut the carrots and onions in quarters. Toss meat in fat until color changes and repeat with onions and carrots. Add stock and season carefully. Put whole potatoes on top. Simmer gently until meat is cooked, 2 hours approximately. Pour off the cooking liquid. De-grease and reheat in another saucepan. Check seasoning, then swirl in butter, chives, parsley and pour back over stew.
