Method
- Preheat the oven to 160°C/fan140°C/gas 3. Put the flour onto a plate and season well. Dust the lamb pieces in the seasoned flour. Heat half the oil in a heavy-based casserole and brown the lamb, in batches, then set aside on a plate.
- Heat the remaining oil and gently fry the onions for 5 minutes, then add the garlic and chillies and cook for a further few minutes.
- Stir in the Chinese five-spice, cook for a minute, then add the tomatoes, stock and soy sauce. Return the lamb to the pan, bring to a simmer, cover with a lid and cook in the oven for 2-2½ hours until the meat is meltingly tender.
- Skim off the excess fat. Stir in the coriander and serve with steamed rice and pak choi.
