Instructions

Fry the Lamb
1

a) Boil a full kettle.

b) Heat a medium frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).

c) Once hot, add the lamb mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Cook the Rice
2

a) Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with 1/4 tsp salt on high heat. Add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins.

b) Once cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.

Prep Time
3

a) Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion.

b) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

c) Pick the mint leaves from their stalks and finely chop (discard the stalks).

Spice Things Up
4

a) Once the lamb has browned, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3-4 mins.

b) Add the garlic, harissa paste, Middle Eastern style spice mix and tomato puree. Cook for 1 min more.

c) Stir in the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) and chicken stock paste. Season with salt and pepper.

d) Bring to the boil, then cook until the sauce is slightly thickened, 2-3 mins.

Mix your Mint Yoghurt
5

a) Meanwhile, mix together the yoghurt and half the mint in a small bowl.

b) Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Finish and Serve
6

a) Once the sauce has thickened and the rice is cooked, add the rice to the lamb and mix well to combine.

b) Share the lamb and rice between your bowls.

c) Spoon the mint yoghurt on top and sprinkle over the remaining mint to finish.

Enjoy!
