Trim the meat of bone, fat and gristle, then cut into fairly large pieces.

Layer the meat and the vegetables in a deep pan, seasoning each layer well, and ending with potatoes. Pour in the stock and cover with a piece of buttered foil, then the lid, and bake in a slow oven, 300F, for about 2 hours.
