Preparation

Heat the butter and bacon in a wide heavy-based saucepan. Add the thyme and stir well. Add the lamb pieces and brown the lamb on all sides for a few minutes.

Add the onion, garlic and bay leaf and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes to lightly brown the onion.

Add the wine, bring to the boil, then add the tomatoes. Cover with foil and a lid and cook over low heat for about 1½-2 hours until the meat is tender. Stir the stew a couple of times during the cooking to make sure it doesn't stick.

When the meat is cooked, add the beans. Stir gently and reheat for a few minutes. Transfer the stew to a wide gratin dish and sprinkle the top with the chopped parsley and breadcrumbs.

Place under a hot grill and leave for a few minutes until golden brown. Serve immediately but take care as it's very hot.
