Flynny’s lamb hotpot

1 Find a medium pot or casserole dish with high sides and set an oven to 160 Celsius, or equivalent.

2 Put the lamb in the bottom and add the relish, mustard and thyme, and salt and pepper, and then mix well.

3 Sprinkle the broth mix evenly over the top.

4 Pour the water and cider into another pot, then add the chicken stock cube and a little more salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer briefly and whisk to amalgamate the stock cube.

5 Cover the broth mix by overlapping the potatoes on top. They should make two layers or so.

6 Pour the cider stock gently over the top; your potatoes will be immersed, but don't worry.

7 Dot the butter over the top of the spuds, then intersperse the bay leaves and cinnamon stick.

8 Cover tightly with a lid or foil and cook for 1 hour 15 minutes.

9 Turn the heat up to 190 Celsius, remove the lid and cook for 25 more minutes, until golden and crisp on top.
