   2 1/2  lb            Boned Mutton
   4                    Large Potatoes
   2                    Large Onions
   3      or 4          Medium Carrots
                        Sprig of Parsley
   1      pt./500 ml/   cups  Water
                        Salt and Pepper
 Cut the meat into good sized chunks.  Peel the vegetables and slice
thickly. Chop the parsley. Choose a pot with a well-fitting lid and put in
the ingredients in layers, starting and finishing with potatoes.  Pour in
the water and season to taste.  Cover and put on a very low heat for about
2 1/2 hours until the meat is tender and the potatoes have thickened the
liquid. The dish may also be made with lamb, in which case it requires only
1 1/2 hours cooking time.
