How to make it
- Preheat a fan-forced oven to 165°C.
- Heat a large heavy-based saucepan or enamelled castiron casserole over high heat, then add the oil.
- Working in batches, brown the lamb for 6–8 minutes, stirring until it is well browned on all sides, then remove and set aside.
- Brown the carrot, onion and garlic for 3–4 minutes, then add the thyme and bay leaves.
- Return the meat to the pan.
- Add the tomato paste and stir to combine, then stir in the tomato and veal stock.
- Bring to the boil and season with salt and pepper.
- Pop on a lid and cook in the oven for 2 hours or until the meat is tender.
- Remove from the oven, remove the thyme and bring the stew back to a gentle simmer over low heat while you make the dumplings.
- For the dumplings, mix the flour, suet mix and salt in a large bowl.
- Make a well in the centre, then pour in the water and mix gently by hand; add extra flour if needed for the mixture to just come together.
- Form into 2 cm balls and drop them onto the surface of the bubbling stew.
- Pop on the lid and simmer for 6–8 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and leave covered for 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle the lemon zest and parsley over the stew and serve at once with the dumplings.
