This is a very easy and delicious recipe. Homemade Lancashire hot pot is so much nicer than shop bought. This is my take on this definitive northern gem tweaked and tested over the years.

Steps

1
Done

Preheat the oven to 170C (325F).

2
Done

Melt the butter and olive oil in a medium sized flame proof casserole dish and fry the lamb until browned all over (about 5 minutes). Ladle the lamb into a bowl, then add ginger to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until soft.

3
Done

place the lamb back in, then stir in the flour, cooking for 2 minutes. Add in the bay leaves, lamb stock, salt and pepper.

4
Done

Bring to a gently simmer. Then place the lid and cook in the oven for 30 minutes.

5
Done

Now add and stir in the carrots.

6
Done

Starting from the outside, layer the potatoes, moving towards the centre to the outside overlapping each one, just like roof tiles.

7
Done

Brush the melted butter on to the top of the potatoes and scatter on the thyme. Cover with its lid and then place back in the oven for further hour.

8
Done

Next, turn the oven up to 200C (400F) and remove the lid. Cook for a further 30 minutes until the potatoes are crispy brown on top.

9
Done

Remove from the oven, and leave to rest for 10 minutes or so (it will be very hot), then serve immediately with optional green veg.
