Ingredients
- 2 tbsp sunflower oil
- 900 g diced lamb
- 4 lambs kidneys cored, skinned and chopped
- 3 onions halved and sliced
- 1 tbsp flour
- 600 ml hot lamb stock
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 bay leaf

- 30 g unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4.

Stir in the flour, then add the stock and Worcestershire sauce, and bring to the boil, stirring. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the bay leaf and thyme, then pour into the casserole dish over the lamb.
