Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan. Add the onion and salt and cook, stirring, until golden. Stir through the tomatoes and cook until softened, followed by the tomato paste. Cook for a further minute.
  2. Add the lamb and herbs to the pan and mix for 2 minutes, followed by the garlic, chilli and chilli powder to taste (if using!). Crumble in the beef stock cube, mix well to combine and allow the meat to cook for 3 minutes.
