- Heat half the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until soft.

Cook for 4 minutes or until the liquid has reduced by one-third.

Heat the remaining oil in a large flameproof casserole dish over medium heat. Add half the lamb and cook, turning, for 5 minutes or until browned. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining lamb, reheating the dish between batches.
- Return the lamb to the dish. Add the onion mixture, tomato puree, stock and rosemary. Bring to a simmer. Cover. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 1 hour 20 minutes or until lamb is very tender. Discard the rosemary. Use a large metal spoon to remove excess fat from the surface. Season with salt and pepper.
