Comments
I used celery as I had soime to hand and it went well, but you can substitute this for any seasonal veg that casseroles well.
After cooking you can remove meat, and chill sauce to enable you to remove any fat. But the acid of the tomatoes cuts the fat of the lamb so it's not really required.
