Thai Lamb Massaman Curry - slow cooked
Massaman curry is a great use of neck of lamb. This is a richly flavoured curry rather than anything with a lot of heat. I used a casserole in an oven at 130 C ... but you could just use a slow cooker instead.

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Thai
Recipe Type: Curry
Servings: 6 servings
- 2 tbsp Sunflower Oil
- 1 Thai Massaman Curry Paste
- 1 kg Lamb Neck Fillets diced into 2cm cubes
- 800 g Coconut Milk 2 tins
- 400 ml Lamb Stock
- 600 g Potato Maris Piper; peeled and diced into 2 cm cubes
Heat the sunflower oil in a large casserole on the stove. Add the Massaman curry paste and fry for 1 minute.
Add the diced Lamb neck and brown the meat without burning the paste.
Add the coconut milk and the stock to the casserole.
Put the lid on the casserole and place into an oven at around 130 C.
It will take about 5 hours to cook ... but will happily cook for longer with no ill effect.
About an hour before you want to eat, add the potato to the casserole and a bit more liquid if needed.
