Spiced lamb, spinach & potato stew

Method

• step 1

  Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium-high heat, add the onions, season and fry until translucent and beginning to brown, around 4-5 mins. Add the spinach and parsley, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 10-15 mins, stirring occasionally, until cooked right down and not vibrant green anymore.

• step 2

  Stir in the lamb and spices, season well, then squeeze in the lemon juice and cook for a further 10 mins over a medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add the potatoes, then pour over just enough boiling water to cover the meat and potatoes. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for 2 hrs, stirring occasionally until the meat is cooked through and very tender. (If the liquid starts to evaporate too quickly, add a little water, a splash at a time.) Taste for seasoning and serve with rice or naans.
