    I’ve got half of a butchered grass-fed lamb in my freezer and was struggling to know what to do with the small portion of neck.

    Found this traditional Scottish stew in [Ben Mervis’ British Cookbook.](https://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Cookbook-authentic-Scotland-Northern/dp/1838665285?crid=MBMAMHY0H3Q&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.cENsayDyiNInNAgQeLKKAaRadq-sRe3IPUbyXWfalNcwDxWSGXbrFGCPqDYIuuEpDN2hBPmRFjDKv_Zks0RBiasBXwE8Y3SjYLkd7vR62SUxHKCyOzLLrY-C4fmAmnwSxpOtR3BbEPr2wUcwEbwAk_C7UIo7EaYlwPmcNEdx7_OboIIW8SAuHoNoquELYM9_w2ai7DY1UbtZH9iDwVa5UJp3B4BrL22bqU7G2iyvTl8.Jaalpg67_xPO8tIDoE8xBMgOsAEIhG11zfPdJlrW6IQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=british+food&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1735770183&sprefix=british+food%2Caps%2C165&sr=8-4&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.95fd378e-6299-4723-b1f1-3952ffba15af)

    It’s lamb neck slow cooked with root vegetables, aromatics and herbs.

    There’s no definitive recipe; this dish is literally the origin of the word ‘Hodge-Podge’.

    Very tasty way to use a cheap cut like lamb or mutton neck.

    Happy New Year, UK food!

    Looks absolutely superb.

    Some soaked pearl barley in there is also a winner. Chopped kale too. That’s the beauty of the no-fixed-recipe thing.
