  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Season half the flour, then toss with the lamb to coat. Heat 2 tbs oil in a large flameproof casserole over medium-high heat. Shake excess flour from the lamb, then cook, in batches, for 4-6 minutes, turning, until browned on all sides. Remove from pan.

  2. Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 1 tbs oil to the pan. Cook onion and celery, stirring, for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Return lamb to the pan with mushrooms, ale, consomme, bay leaf, sugar and Worcestershire. Season and bring to a simmer. Cover pan and bake in the oven for 1 1/2 hours or until lamb is tender, then remove from the oven.

  3. Mix remaining 1/4 cup (35g) flour with 1/2 cup (125ml) of the cooking juices in a separate bowl until smooth, then add to the casserole and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens.

  4. Spread mustard on baguette slices and layer on top of lamb mixture. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 20 minutes until bubbling. Sprinkle with parsley, to serve.
