Lamb & Guinness Potjie – Method

Pack 13  briquettes onto the coal grid inside your PotjieKing. Place a couple of firelighters in the bottom section and get that going. Once the briquettes are lit, place your potjie pot onto the PotjieKing to heat up. We used a no 3 potjie pot for this recipe.

  • Pour the oil into the potjie pot and fry the onions. Once they are soft add the garlic and fry for a minute or two.
  • Stir in the tomato paste and then add the lamb. Stir well to coat the lamb.
  • Sprinkle in the salt, pepper and flour. Stirring to make sure the lamb is evenly coated.
  • While stirring, add in the Guinness, broth, rosemary, Worcestershire sauce & sugar.
  • Simmer for 1 1/2 hours
  • Add the potatoes and carrots and cook for another hour or so. Check if you need to add 2 or 3 briquettes for the remaining cooking time.
  • If you like a thicker sauce you can lift the lid off slightly, for the last half an hour, to allow the sauce to reduce or if you’d prefer you can mix 1 to 2 tablespoons of cornflour to some cold water and stir that in.
  • When you are about ready to serve your Lamb & Guinness Potjie stir in the frozen peas and cook for a few minutes, or until they are warmed through.
