Mum's Lamb Hot Pot

My Mum is an amazing cook. She serves this fantastic hotpot with heaps of creamy mashed potato!

You will need:

Some lamb: best end of neck, diced
1 large onion
1 tin canellini beans
1 small cup puy lentils
3-4 carrots or parsnips
1 dessert spoon vegetable oil
2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
2-3 cups vegetable stock
1 fresh lemon
Salt and pepper to taste.

First preheat the oven to around 170 degrees C.
Fry the meat in the oil until browned.
Then fry the onions and garlic and add the chopped or sliced vegetables.
Add the stock and canellini beans and allow to stew for around 15 minutes
 Place in a covered casserole dish, and slow cook for about 2 hours.
Around 20 minutes before serving, squeeze over the lemon juice and add the puy lentils.
Season to taste and serve hot!
