Delicious Lancashire Hot Pot Recipe for a Cozy Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 lbs lamb shoulder, cut into chunks
  • 4 medium potatoes, sliced
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 4 cups beef or lamb stock
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup peas, frozen
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbsp flour (for thickening)
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Brown the Meat

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the lamb chunks and brown on all sides.

    Do not overcrowd the pot; brown in batches if necessary.
  2. Sauté Vegetables

    Add the chopped onions and diced carrots to the pot. Sauté until the onions are translucent.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Add Flour and Liquids

    Sprinkle the flour over the meat and vegetables, stirring to combine. Gradually add the stock and water, stirring continuously.

    This helps to avoid lumps.
  4. Season the Mixture

    Stir in Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.

    Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Layer Potatoes

    Layer the sliced potatoes on top of the meat mixture. Cover the pot with a lid.

    Avoid stirring; let the potatoes steam on top.
  6. Cook

    Reduce heat to low and cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender.

    Check occasionally to ensure there’s enough liquid.
  7. Finish with Peas

    In the last 10 minutes of cooking, add the frozen peas and fresh parsley.

    This adds color and freshness.
  8. Serve

    Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

    Serve hot with crusty bread.
