Made a one pot dish for dinner last night. It was lamb which was from a roast lamb I had made the night before so it was already cooked and I cut it up into fairly small cubes. I added small cubed potatoes (maximum size £2 coin) and chopped carrots. Both the carrots and the potatoes were raw. I also added tomatoe based sauce (tomatoes, peppers courgettes etc) and another sauce for lamb with some red wine and rosemary. There was a fair bit of sauce covering 95% of the lamb and carrots but reasonably thick (i.e. it was not soup!) It went in a casserole dish with a lid. It was ready to go in the oven about 7.30pm with a view to eating at 8.30pm or 8.45pm. I was told there was no way the carrots and the potatoes would cook in 1 - 1.5 hours. So I carefully spooned out the carrots and potatoes and microwaved them so they were soft and returned them to the lidded cassorole dish and put them back in the oven.
If I had not microwaved them would they have turned out ok?
What do you normally do for a one pot dish?
thanks
