English Translation

This is very much a traditional North Walian dish. My grandmother used to cook many variants and this is just one of them.

Ingredients:

1.2kg boned breast of lamb, rolled
1.8kg potatoes, thickly sliced
15g flour
225g onions, thickly sliced
400ml water
salt and black pepper

Method:

Add the lamb to a roasting tin and roast in an oven pre-heated to 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4) for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, set the meat aside and pour off all but a little of the fat. Arrange half the potatoes in a layer on the bottom of the dish. Season the flour and scatter over the potatoes. Arrange the onions on top then finish with a layer of potatoes. Sit the lamb on top then add just enough water to come up to the level of the potatoes.

Cover with foil and return to the oven. Bake for about 100 minutes (remove the foil for the last 15 minutes of cooking to brown the top of the dish). Slice the meat and serve with the potatoes and Carrot and Swede Mash
