How To Cook Diced Lamb Food

HEARTY LAMB STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large casserole. Tip in the lamb and cook for 5 mins until any liquid has disappeared, then add the onion, carrots and leeks. Cook for 5 mins more, stirring often, until the veg is starting to soften.
• Pour over the stock, add the rosemary, cover with a lid and cook over a low heat for 1 hr. Stir in the beans and cook for 30 mins more, topping up with water if necessary, until the lamb is tender and cooked through. Serve with some crusty bread or potatoes, if you like.

EASY LAMB STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish. Add the meat in batches and brown over a high heat for 5 mins, then lift onto a plate. Tip in the onions and carrots, and cook for 8-10 mins until starting to colour. Scatter over the flour and stir for a few minutes, then stir in the tomato purée and cook for a few minutes more. Tip the meat and any resting juices back into the dish and stir well. Pour over the stock, tuck in the herbs and season well. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat.
• Cover with a lid and put in the oven for about 2 hrs 30 mins until the meat is tender. Once cooled, the stew can be chilled and frozen for up to three months - defrost completely before reheating on the hob for 5 mins over a medium heat, until piping hot. Leave to settle for a minute or two, then serve with mash and greens.

BASIC LAMB AND RICE DINNER FOR CATS

Steps:

• Heat water in medium saucepan until boiling. Stir in rice. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for about 30-40 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, crumble ground lamb. Cook over medium heat just until lamb is cooked through but not browned. Remove from heat. Drain and rinse to remove excess fat. Allow to cool completely.
• In a large mixing bowl or in the same large skillet combine rice, lamb and flaxseed oil. Stir to combine completely.
• Package into individual meals. This should keep for 3 days in the refrigerator. Freeze any meals that won't be used within that time.
