3 tsp flour
2 tsp cooking oil
2 onions, chopped
3 tsp salt and pinch black pepper
1 tsp sugar
2 lb (900g) ripe tomatoes,
skinned and chopped
1/2 pt (300ml) stock

1. Roll the lamb in flour and brown in hot cooking oil.
2. Add onion and sauté until transparent.
3. Add all the remaining ingredients and simmer until the lamb is tender (2 – 2 ½ hours).
