  1. Preheat the oven to 140c.

  3. Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. 
  4. After one hour and fifteen min add the celery, onions and garlic, and continue to cook for about another 30-45 min, or until the vegetables are soft and the lamb is very tender and almost falling off the bone. 
  5. Remove from the oven and strain off the juices, skim the fat off the top and add back into the lamb. 
  6. This is great with a mashed potato, or a champ.
