Mediterranean vegetables with lamb ... a one pot meal


This one-pot dish is packed with vegetables and tender lamb and will keep the whole family satisfied … why not serve with low carb oven-baked swede (rutabaga) wedges.

Ingredients:
Serves Four
1 tbsp. olive oil
250g lean lamb fillet, trimmed of any fat and thinly sliced
140g shallots, halved
2 large courgettes (zucchini) cut into chunks
½ tsp each ground cumin, paprika and ground coriander
1 red, 1 orange and 1 green pepper, cut into chunks
1 garlic clove, sliced
150ml vegetable stock
250g cherry tomatoes

handful coriander leaves, roughly chopped

Method:
1. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based frying pan. Cook the lamb and shallots over a high heat for 2-3 mins until golden. Add the courgettes and stir-fry for 3-4 mins until beginning to soften.
2. Add the spices and toss well, then add the peppers and garlic. Reduce the heat and cook over a moderate heat for 4-5 mins until they start to soften.
3. Pour in the stock and stir to coat. Add the tomatoes, season, then cover with a lid and simmer for 15 mins, stirring occasionally until the veg are tender. Stir through the coriander to serve.

From an original idea here

Pepper's, as well as being so colourful, do have a lot going for them. They are full of good nutrition and all varieties are excellent sources of Vitamins A and C, potassium, folic acid and fibre. My favourite is the red one! 


This recipe is so easy to tweak e.g. aubergines (eggplants) could be used, some may like to add some leeks or carrots … perhaps not quite so Mediterranean, but as always the choice is with you the reader...

Please note, you will find a variety of recipe ideas and articles within this blog, and not all may be suitable for you.

All the best Jan

One pot meals are always good.

Looks wonderful. I am always looking for a new stew or soup especially during our frigid winter weather. I just don't normally think of lamb as I believe I've only used it once before and can't remember if we like it or not. Thank you. I do hope you are having a lovely day.

I don't even remember the last time I had lamb. I like it though and this sounds really good.

Hello,

I like doing the one pot meals. Not so sure about lamb.
Enjoy your day!

I really like one pot meals but not a fan of lamb. I'll bet you could make a meat substitution!!
