Method
- Preheat the oven to 160ºC.

Cooks Tips
Up-market or change me! - Add 1 packet of tomato pizza paste - Add a handful of black olives before serving - Add a handful of torn basil leaves - Add 100 grams of sliced salami - Use about 500-650 grams of diced beef for stewing or casseroling in place of the lamb. Slow-cook me! - Pile all the ingredients into a slow cooker. You will get better flavour if you brown the lamb. Cover and cook on low for about 7-8 hours.
