Chef Gerard pairs this hearty stew with classic soda bread from the local stalwart, Gunn’s Bakery.
INGREDIENTS
1 lb leg of mutton, or spring lamb leg or loin, cubed

METHOD
1. In a medium saucepan, heat oil and brown meat on all sides.
2. Pour liquid over meat and cover with a lid, simmering until tender.
3. Drain meat. In a pot, pour in braising stock, and cook until reduced by half, thickening slightly with flour to make gravy.
