easy recipe

  Spoon measures are American spoons, that is standard cook's measuring spoons used in USA.
  The best plan is to regard 2 American teaspoons or tablespoons as 1 English teaspoon or tablespoon (eating spoons)

Clean the mushrooms removing any lumps of earth and other impurities with the tip of a knife blade. Brush off grit and dirt with a toothbrush. Do not rinse them with running water; you could loose their delicate taste! Moisten some absorbent kitchen paper and clean them accurately. Slide them lengthways.
Wash the lamb, cut into large pieces, and wipe them. Put them in a large saucepan with the olive oil, the herbs, the parsley and the onions, finely chopped. Brown all over and then pour in the wine. Let it evaporate for some minutes, stirring the meat, and then add a glass of water, the tomatoes, the mushrooms and the potatoes, peeled and cut into large pieces.
Season with salt and keep on cooking, covered, over a low heat. Stir now and then with a wooden spoon. If necessary, add a little of warm water.
Serve hot.

What's the right wine?
