Delicious Lamb Stew

If you can get a 'cheap' leg of lamb, that's the best.

Cut the meat into 2 inch pieces , discarding any skin and fat.

Peel and chop the onions.

Peel and slice the carrots.

Heat the oil in a large saucepan and fry the onions 5 minutes , add the carrots and fry 5 minutes longer.

Remove the vegetables to a plate , draining as much oil as possible back into the pan.

Add the meat to the pan and cook over a high heat , turning it all the time to brown it on all sides.

Pour the wine into the pan , return the vegetables and season the mixture with salt and pepper , add the parsley , thyme , marjoram and garlic.

Cut the bacon into small pieces and add to the pan.

Bring to the boil , then simmer for 2 hours.

Allow to cool , then place in the refrigerator overnight , next day remove the layer of solidified fat from the top.

Reheat , check the seasoning , and serve.

Serve with mashed potato.

You may cook this the oven.
