Ingredients
- Low calorie cooking oil / spray
- 2 large onions roughly chopped
- 1 red pepper roughly chopped
- 120 g chorizo sliced
- 600 g lean lamb leg steaks cubed and with as much fat trimmed off as possible
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 2 tins chopped tomatoes
- 250 ml lamb stock
- 80 g cherry tomatoes
- Salt and pepper to season
Instructions
- Spray the bottom of a large casserole pot about 8 times with the cooking oil spray. Heat the casserole pot on a hob, on high heat, until the cooking spray begins to bubble then turn the heat down to a medium heat. *
- Add the chopped onions and red pepper and sauté them until soft for about 8 – 10 minutes. Add small amounts of hot water if the mixture begins to stick.
- Then add the chorizo to the vegetables to sauté together for 3 - 4 minutes until the chorizo releases some its oils and flavours and colours the onions.
- Add the lamb and paprika, continue stirring around the casserole pot for about 6 - 7 minutes until the lamb is lightly browned.
- Add the tinned tomatoes and lamb stock
- Turn the casserole down to a simmer and cook for a further 1.5 hours on the hob until the lamb is tender.
- About 10 minutes before the end of cooking add the cherry tomatoes and once they are softened season the dish to taste.
- Serve with rice or crusty bread.
Notes
*You can use a tablespoon of olive oil if you don’t have cooking spray.
