WHAT YOU NEED:
- 2kg lamb chops – any type, trimmed of excess fat

HOW TO MAKE:
- Place flour in a plastic bag and season with salt and pepper. Place chops in bag and shake well to coat. Transfer chops to a plate. Reserve excess flour.

- Whisk reserved flour, tomato paste and 2 tablespoons cold water in a large jug until well combined. Slowly add boiling water, whisking constantly. Add stock cubes stir to dissolve.
- Pour flour mixture over chops. Cover and cook for 4 hours or until meat tender and sauce thickened. If you want to add pearl barley add at the beginning of the final hour of cooking.
