Written by This easy Lamb Potjie uses a Cape Malay influence for its flavour profile.
As with all of the lamb potjie recipes you can use your preferred cut of lamb, in the recipe we are using shoulder of lamb. You can substitute this with lamb neck, lamb knuckle or a leg of lamb (de-boned & cubed). You can also use a mixture of cuts.
For a lamp potjie video guide take a look at Lamb Potjie Recipe or Lamb Shank in Red Wine Potjie Recipe.
