Ingredients

  • 400 g ground lamb (I use lean organic)
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 carrots
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
  • 3/4 cup red wine (I use a merlot)
  • 1/2 pint lamb gravy (see recipe below if desired)
  • For the gravy
  • 1 lamb stock cube (Knorr)
  • 1/2 pint cold water
  • 4 teaspoons bisto, original gravy powder

Method

  • Pre-heat your oven to 200c.
  • Chop the onions, garlic and carrots, and soften in a frying pan with a little oil.
  • Add the ground lamb and cook for another couple minutes until browned.
  • Add the rosemary and red wine and cook for approximately 5 mins until most of the alcohol has burned off.
  • Meanwhile, make the gravy. If using my recipe, first mix the Bisto powder with a little cold water to form a paste and then add the remaining water. Break the Knorr stock cube up and add to the saucepan. Cook for a few minutes until it starts to thicken but is not properly cooked.
  • Transfer the contents of the frying pan (juices and all) into a casserole dish and cover with the gravy.
  • Bake in the oven for approximately 30-40 minutes.
