Easy lamb potjie recipe

[Farmerj]

Came across this potjie recipe I made about 10 years ago. Nice and easy, could be making it again.

1 leg of lamb
Handful of rosemary
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Handful of Thyme
3 sliced onions
1 litre of Old Brown Sherry
Potjie Vegetable mix ( saved me time chopping and dicing )
Also added extra small potatoes
Garlic and seasoning to taste.

I made the potjie next to the fire on the floor around some bricks and just kept on adding hot coals under it. That is the secret, just to keep it hot, no flames needed. Add the oil when the pot is warm. Then add the onions to brown. Brown the leg of lamb on both sides, add the litre of sherry, add the vegetables, probably potatoes first. add seasoning, let it go for about 4 hours. We should have let it go for another hour so, but it was still perfect and even better the next day.

Nice! Only problem these days is that the lamb costs more than a new number three 3 legged pot.

 

[Drifter]

This is true.

Bought ox tail and all the fixings yesterday. I'm make a pot on Saturday. To be fair though, we make at least one pot a month.

That was a bit silly. I would give you a leg of lamb for a bottle now.

That's what you get when you think with your smurf instead of your pineapple.

One small change, brown the meat first, remove from the pot, THEN do the onions etc and add the meat again. and BTW, works just as well in a normal pot on the stove. The potjie, of course, adds to the experience and enjoyment, no question.

The cast iron and the smoke and flame add a complexity of flavour that you do not get on a stove top.
