1 can of Guinness beer

Lamb cutlets

Peas , Rosemary

1 spoon of flour, Onion, garlic

Once fragrant, add the lamb and fry a while before pouring in the Guinness (just enough to cover). Bring to boil and then place into the oven (200 Degrees). Cover it and cook for 2.5 hours (removing in after 1.5 hour to stir). Once the meat is tender, stir in the cheese.. remove it and let it rest.
