Preparation

Step 1

Cut meat into 3-5cm cubes.

Place a layer of onions in the base of a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, add a layer of bacon and then a layer of sliced potatoes, seasoning each layer with a little mustard and pepper. Continue layering and seasoning and finish with a layer of potatoes.

Place a bayleaf on top and pour in sufficient cold water to come just below the top layer of potatoes. Cover with a lid, bring to the boil, then simmer very gently for 1-1 1/2 hours.

Serve the stew garnished with chopped parsley and accompanied by boiled carrots.
