🥘 How To Make Rick Stein Lancashire Hot Pot

1. Warm the oven up to 170C/325F (fan).
2. To cook the lamb, melt the butter and vegetable oil in a medium-sized saucepan or sauce pan. 
3. Fry the lamb until it is lightly browned all over, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes. Put the lamb in a bowl, then add the onions to the pan. Cook for three to four minutes, turning often, until the onions are soft.
4. After adding the meat back in, stir in the flour and cook for one minute. 
5. Put in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, bay leaves, and stock. Mix everything together and slowly add water. After that, cover it with a lid and bake it for 30 minutes.
6. 1 tablespoon of plain (all-purpose) flour, 2 bay leaves, ½ teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper, 480 ml (2 cups) of hot chicken or vegetable stock,
7. After 30 minutes, add the carrots and mix them in. You can now move the food in the pan to a casserole or pie dish if you want to. I moved mine to a 25cm circle pie dish. 
8. Add the cut potatoes on top. Start putting the potatoes on the outside and work your way in to the middle.
9. 3 carrots of a medium size and 680 g (1.5 lbs) of potatoes
10. Butter the potatoes on top, and then add the dried thyme on top of that. Put it back in the oven for an hour with a lid or foil on top.
11. 1 tablespoon of melted butter to brush on,¿ teaspoon of dried thyme
12. After an hour, take the lid off and heat the oven to 200C/400F (fan). After another 30 minutes, the potatoes should be roasted and crispy on top.
13. After taking it out of the oven, let it cool for about 5 minutes (it will be very hot), and then serve it with some green vegetables.

💭 Recipe Tips:
