Layered Lamb Casserole Recipe

You will need.....       2 lb. middle neck of lamb, chined

                               1 small white cabbage (about 1.5 lb.)

                               1 heaped teaspoon caraway seeds

Preparation Time      salt and pepper

10 minutes                1 lb. potatoes, peeled

                               1/2 lb. small tomatoes, halved                              

Cooking Time            1 oz. butter or magarine

1 hour 15 minutes      

                          

Cut the lamb into chops and trim off excess fat; place in bottom of a large strong saucepan or flameproof casserole. Shred the cabbage, discarding hard core. Wash well, drain, and put half on top of the fat trimmings. Arrange the chops on this bed of cabbage, sprinkle with caraway seeds and season. Top with potatoes and the rest of the cabbage, and dot with butter.

 

Cover pan and bring to the boil, then simmer for 11/4 hours. (No water need be added).

 

Half an hour before the dish is ready, add tomato halves. A little water can be added at this stage if the pan seems dry. Cover and finish cooking. Serves 4.

 

Quick Tip

 

To slice finely: vegetables, especially tomatoes, which are not quite firm enough are difficult to slice thinly with ordinary knife. Use a knife with serrated edge. You can buy slicing knives with part plain, part serrated blades.
