LAMB NECK/OXTAIL POTJIE RECIPE image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Lamb

Yield serves 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 18

500 - 600g Lamb necks or Oxtail pieces
2 smoky Kassler chops cubed (you can use bacon, about 1/2 a packet but bacon just does not seem to be as smoky as it used to be)
1/2 cup seasoned flour
1 liter beef stock
400g tin tomato paste
2 tablespoons crushed garlic
2 dry bay leaves
4 large leeks roughly chopped
2 large onions roughly chopped
2 large carrots roughly chopped
3 large potatoes roughly chopped
250g punnet button mushrooms
1 cup red wine
1/2 cup sherry
50g butter
Olive oil
Peppercorns
Fresh Mixed herbs, about 10 stalks tied together that you can remove easily

Steps:

  • Prepare your fire to a hot coal stage and have plenty of spare charcoal or wood standing by because you are going to need to keep the fire going for about 4 hours. Chop up all your veg and place in bowls ready to add. Place your potjie on the edge of the fire to heat up, add the butter and a good splash of olive oil, add the Kassler cubes or bacon and cook for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the lamb or oxtail pieces with the seasoned flour to coat and then brown with the kassler cubes, turning them with tongs to get a nice colour all over. Remove the Lamb or oxtail pieces and the kassler and set aside. Add the carrots, the onions and the leeks and cook for about 5 minutes. Now add back the meat and all of the rest of the ingredients, stir, place on the lid, make sure the fire is moderate to hot just not boiling, crack open a beer and sit back for at least 2 hours before you take a look. Make sure the fire is kept fairly constant, you want the sauce to bubble slowly, not boil. After 3 hours check again and if the sauce is too thin, add a tablespoon of maizena (cornstarch) to 2 tablespoons of water, mix and then add to the liquid, stir and cook for the last half hour. Leave it on the fire for about 3 1/2 hours in total before serving.

This potjie was a bit too salty for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The meat was tender and the sauce was flavorful. Next time I'll use less salt.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The meat was tough and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This potjie was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The meat was tender and the sauce was flavorful. Next time I'll use less chili peppers.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of lamb, but I'm so glad I did! The lamb was cooked perfectly and the sauce was amazing. I'll definitely be making this again.

I've made this potjie twice now and it's been a hit both times. The meat is so tender and the sauce is packed with flavor. I love that it's a one-pot meal, so it's easy to clean up.
