How to make
Pick out some lean mutton. If there's too much extra fat, cut it off. Chop the meat into cubes of about 2″ (5 cm). Season with salt and black pepper.
Arrange a layer of meat in a pot with a thick bottom. Place onion slices on top. Cover with a line of potatoes and carrots that you've peeled and sliced beforehand. Continue until you run out of ingredients, making sure to end with a line of potatoes.
Sprinkle the ingredients with thyme and parsley and pour in enough hot water to submerge them. Boil for 100-120 minutes on low heat. It's best to shake the pot periodically so that the meat doesn't burn.
