Method

1. Put the carrots and swede into your slow cooker
2. Spray a large frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the lamb, brown it all over and transfer to the slow cooker. Add the onions to the same pan and cook over a medium heat until nicely browned, stiring frequently. Add them to the slow cooker too. (Browning the lamb and onions first adds lots of flavour but you can skip this step if you'r short of time).
3. Add the stock to the slow cooker along with the stock pot, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, bay leaves, a little salt and plenty of black pepper. Stir well and scatter the potatoes on the top. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until the lamb and potatoes are tender.
4. Discards the bay leaves and serve hot with you'r favouite vegetables and the fresh herbs to scatter over.
