Method:

Heat oil in a large saucepan and braise onions until golden brown, 5-10 mins.

Add washed and drained meat and braise until dark brown, 10-15 mins. The meat should be as brown as you can get it.

Add salt, chillies, allspice and enough water; simmer until meat is nearly tender, 15-20 minutes or longer if using mutton.

Add carrots and potatoes and cook until potatoes are nearly soft. Add frozen peas and cook a further 10 mins or until potatoes are soft.

Garnish with chopped parsley.
