Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas 4.2. Heat the butter in a casserole dish. Add in the lamb and fry until golden.
3. Add in the roughly chopped carrot, onion, celery and leek and fry, stirring now and then, until the vegetables are lightly browned.
4. Remove the casserole dish from direct heat, drain off the excess fat and mix in the flour.
5. Return the casserole to the heat and fry, stirring, until the flour is lightly browned.
6. Add in the tomato puree and mix in. Add in the wine, stock, bay leaf, thyme and rosemary. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
7. Bring to the boil and cover. Transfer to the oven and bake for 1 and a half to 2 hours, until the meat is tender.
8. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the lamb to a heavy-based saucepan. Strain the lamb gravy through a fine strainer over the lamb. Gently heat through.
9. Transfer the navarin of lamb to a warm earthenware serving dish, garnish with the pan-fried vegetables and serve at once.

Absolutely delicious. However, I did add 3 cloves of garlic, a large bunch of Rosemary and Thyme finely chopped, and as I overdid the red wine, I added more flour. I'm doing the recipe again this thursday.
