Braised Lamb & Wholemeal Cream Cheese Dumplings

Lovely lamb on the menu today! This lamb dish combines braised lamb, simmered gently with vegetables and seasonings, then finished off in the oven with wholemeal dumplings and mozzarella cheese.

The wholemeal dumplings go great with this dish and are a great alternative to mash or pasta. They really fill you up and have a surprisingly 'meaty' consistency that goes well with the veg.

Lamb Tagine

Lamb Tagine on the menu today. A tagine is the name given to an earthenware dish that is used in North African cookery and the meals made in them. This take on a tagine is done on the the hob with lamb and vegetables simmered gently, spiced with cinnamon, cumin and chili powder, then sweetened slightly with a little honey.

This dish is great served with Brown Rice or Lemon & Coriander Couscous. 

Lamb Hot Pot

Another fantastic winter warmer! Lamb this time, simmered gently with thyme and parsley.

Lamb, similar to pork and beef is a meat you can still enjoy in moderation when trying to lose weight. It's best to chose leg meat as it tends to be leaner and remember to remove any visible fat, before cooking.
