Mmm this turned out really well; the picture doesn’t really do it justice. Kerri has written out the partially home-grown, partially looked-up recipe that we used: 500g lamb mince Onion 3 gloves garlic Red wine Vegetable stock Large tin of tomatoes Mint Oregano Cinnamon Bay Salt and pepper Fry onions and garlic until translucent.
