Variations
If you want to liven this recipe up a bit for the adults at the table, try adding some dried herbs. You can just whack in a teaspoon or two of mixed herbs, or alternatively, rosemary, oregano and mint all go brilliantly with lamb.
This is a great recipe for using up leftover veg. From peas and broccoli to carrots and leeks. Just chuck in whatever veg you have lying around to make this simple stew even more nutritious.

Easy to make but not very flavoured - perhaps a few herbs and spices might make it more tasty? The baby liked it blended and mashed into his rice so thumbs up from him
