Tonight’s tasty Middle Eastern seasoning gives this pilaf lamb an abundance of flavour. Studded with currants, green beans and carrot, all you need is some Greek-style yoghurt to round out the meal perfectly.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Cook the rice
1

• In a medium saucepan, add the water (for the rice), then bring to the boil. • Add basmati rice and a pinch of salt. Stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove pan from heat. Keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice brown onion. • Grate carrot. Finely chop garlic. • Trim green beans and slice into thirds.

Cook the veggies & lamb
3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook onion and carrot with a pinch of salt, tossing, until softened, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. • Return frying pan to high heat. Cook green beans and lamb mince (no need for oil!), breaking lamb up with a spoon, until browned, 4-5 minutes. TIP: Drain the oil from the pan at the end of this step for the best results!

Make the sauce
4

• Reduce heat to medium-high, then stir in the butter, middle eastern seasoning, the honey, currants, tomato paste and garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add stock concentrate and the water (for the lamb). Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes. Season to taste. TIP: Add a splash more water to loosen the sauce, if needed!

Finish pilaf rice
5

• While the sauce is simmering, stir carrot, onion and baby spinach leaves through the rice. • Season with salt and pepper.

Serve up
6

• Divide pilaf rice between bowls. Top with Moroccan-spiced lamb. • Serve with Greek-style yoghurt. Enjoy!
