-------- ------------ --------------------------------
    2 1/2 lb            Boned Mutton
    4                    Large Potatoes
    2                    Large Onions
    3      or 4          Medium Carrots
                         Sprig of Parsley
    1      pt./500 ml/   cups Water
                         Salt and Pepper

Cut the meat into good sized chunks. Peel the vegetables and slice
thickly. Chop the parsley. Choose a pot with a well-fitting lid and put in
the ingredients in layers, starting and finishing with potatoes. Pour in
the water and season to taste. Cover and put on a very low heat for about
2 1/2 hours until the meat is tender and the potatoes have thickened the
liquid. The dish may also be made with lamb, in which case it requires only
1 1/2 hours cooking time.
