Quantity Ingredient
1 Shoulder of lamb, 7 lbs

1 Clove garlic, minced
½ cup Shredded celery leaves
⅓ cup Cubed green pepper
2 tablespoons Tomato sauce, or to taste

This will make a crusty skin and add flavor to the gravy.

To make the gravy, drain off all the fat, and remove lamb to a warm place.

Add a little water to the pan, leaving in the vegetables, and boil down on top of stove.
