Lamb in English

30 minutes
Lamb in English is a traditional dish of British cuisine that dates back to ancient meat cooking methods. It combines the tenderness of stewed lamb with the rich aroma of black pepper, cumin, and bay leaves, as well as the softness of potatoes soaked in meat juices. Onions and garlic add zest, while tomato paste provides a slight tanginess that highlights the depth of flavor. The dish is prepared by layering ingredients for stewing, allowing them to fully express their taste qualities. It is perfect for cozy family dinners, especially on cool days when something hearty and warming is desired. This is a classic example of British culinary tradition that turns simple ingredients into true gastronomic delight.
