Serves

Cooking time
2-3 hours
Ingredients
2 lbs lamb meat
4 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 can of plum tomatoes
1 red pepper, seeded and chopped
1 onion, diced
1 sprig of parsley
salt to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
5 peppercorns
1 tsp smoked Spanish paprika
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
250ml red wine
First add a good slug of olive oil to a hot pan and add the onions and chopped pepper, frying over a medium heat for around five mins.
Add the garlic and fry for a further minute before adding the diced lamb to the pan. Brown the meat on all sides over a high heat before adding the wine and allowing to reduce by about half.
Add the everything else to the pan except the parsley and bring up to a simmer. Cover and cook until the lamb is very tender – probably one to one and half hours. Check for seasoning and serve with rice or potatoes with vegetables of your choice.
When checking the lamb, add a little water or stock if there is not enough liquid.
