INSTRUCTIONS:

2. Blitz the sweet red peppers to small pieces.
3. Then, chop the red onions and fry on medium heat in a large pot.
4. When the pan is hot, brown the sides of the lamb neck pieces, (not including the soy sauce marinade).
5. Add in the sweet red peppers to the pot and soy sauce marinade.
6. Fill the pan with water until it covers the top of the lamb pieces.
7. And season with the stock cubes, ketchup, mustard, sugar, lemon juice, thyme, rosemary and curry powder.
8. Mix everything, cover the pan with its lid and then turn the heat to the lowest.
9. Leave the lamb to cook for 1hr 30mins.
10. While the lamb is cooking, prepare the potato waffles. Grate a packet of white potatoes.
11. Using a nut bag or clean towel, squeeze as much of the water out of the potatoes till it’s dry.
12. Add the dried potatoes into a large bowl and add the eggs, chives, salt and pepper.
13. Mix thoroughly. And then set up the waffle maker on medium heat settings.
14. Spray a generous amount of nonstick oil spray in the waffle maker and add four large tablespoons of potato.
15. Press the potatoes flat and let it cook for 5 minutes max.
16. Check on the lamb stew, and it should have thickened after an hour. Add the chicken gravy granules and cornflour dissolved in hot water and carrots. Stir and let the stew simmer without the lid.
17. When all of the waffles are light brown and partially cooked, brush them with melted butter and broil in the oven for a few minutes till golden and crispy brown.
18. When the lamb pieces are glossy and thick, switch off the heat and plate up.

And it’s complete!
