This is a very old recipe for a really rich and robust dish full of BAM! It is best served with mashed potato and a steamed vegetable such as green beans, Another of my lamb favourites!

Titli's Tips
Make sure you really brown the meat – it will add to the richness of the flavours. If you cook with wine, use half a bottle of a good-flavoured wine.

You should cook this dish until the lamb is really tender. Add a little more water into the pan during cooking if it starts to become dry.

Not everyone likes olives, so leave them out if you wish.
