Ingredients
 

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 lb 5 oz lamb shoulder or leg, cut into 1 inch chunks
  • 4 garlic cloves peeled
  • 3 sprigs thyme stalks removed
  • 6 canned anchovy fillets
  • 1/4 pint red wine
  • 1/4 pint lamb or vegetable stock
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 3/4 oz black olives pitted and halved
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley to garnish mashed potato, to serve

Instructions

  • Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan (skillet). Add the lamb and cook for 4 - 5 minutes, stirring, until the meat is browned all over.
  • Using a pestle and mortar, grind together the garlic, thyme and anchovies to make a smooth paste.
  • Add the wine and lamb or vegetable stock to the frying pan (skillet). Stir in the garlic and anchovy paste together with the sugar.
  • Bring the mixture to the boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes or until the lamb is tender. For the last 10 minutes of the cooking time, remove the lid to allow the sauce to reduce slightly.
  • Stir the olives into the sauce and mix to combine.
  • Transfer the lamb and the sauce to a serving bowl and garnish. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes.
