This delicious lamb neck stew is so easy to put together. Then all you have to do is leave the dish to cook over a long period of time (or shorter if you have a pressure cooker).
Lamb neck is a fabulously underrated and inexpensive cut of lamb. It is a tougher cut, which means that it requires a very long, slow cooking time.
It may look as though there isn’t much meat, but it does yield a surprisingly generous amount once every scrap is well cooked and tender.
