Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 to 2 lb ground lamb
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups catsup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • flour
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 6 to 8 medium potatoes, cubed

Instructions

  1. Combine ground lamb, egg, Worcestershire sauce, chopped onion, and bread crumbs in a bowl.
  2. Form into small patties about 1/2-inch thick.
  3. Roll the patties in flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
  4. Fry the patties slowly in an ungreased skillet until browned on both sides.
  5. Place the browned patties in the bottom of a casserole dish with a tight cover.
  6. Add chopped potatoes, sliced carrots, and chunks of small onions on top of the patties.
  7. Pour catsup over all the ingredients.
  8. Let simmer for a couple of hours, or bake in a 350°F oven for 1.5 to 2 hours.
  9. Optionally, substitute frozen mixed peas, carrots, and lima beans for fresh vegetables.

Tips & Substitutions

For optimal flavor, let the lamb patties rest after forming them. If you want to reduce fat, use lean ground lamb and consider substituting half of the bread crumbs with cooked quinoa or oats. Fresh herbs like parsley or mint can enhance the dish. If you don't have Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce can be a suitable alternative.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the Lamb Patty Stew with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal. It pairs beautifully with Coconut Marshmallow Goodies(Uncooked) for a sweet finish. Consider serving it alongside mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious sauce, making for a comforting and hearty dinner.
