INSTRUCTIONS
Trim the meat. Heat a flameproof casserole and put in the dripping and
when it starts to smoke start browning the meat. Only brown a little
at a time as too much meat in the pan at one time will bring down the
temperature, and start to release the water in the meat and it will
stew and not brown. When each piece of meat is sufficiently browned,
take it out and keep warm. After the meat is done, put in the
vegetables and fry more slowly until they are just coloured, adding
the brown sugar at this stage will help the process and add some
flavour. Now stir in the flour and brown it for about 1 minute and
then add the stock. Bring to boiling point, replace the meat and add
the bouquet garni. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the pan and
simmer for one and a half hours or until the meat is tender. Just
before you need them, make the rosemary dumplings. Mix the flour, suet
and rosemary leaves together in a bowl and add enough cold water to
make a firm and moist dough but not sticky. About half an hour before
serving add the plums and roll the dumplings and place on top of your
lamb. Replace in the oven and turn the dumplings once after 15
minutes. Give them another 15 minutes to brown and then serve.
