Introduction

I was snowed in so I made this using some store cupboard ingredients to make a nice hearty meal. I only had high fat lamb so would recommend using a lower fat cut!

I'm on the South beach diet, but If I wasn't I'd add some fruit (raisins, prunes or apricots, etc.)

2. Add the chopped onion, garlic and all of the spices whilst coating the lamb with them.
3. Add in chopped tomatoes and a pinch of salt.
