Background
This herby leftover lamb stew with chickpeas is made from leftover roast lamb. It’s easy, yummy and filling. If you don’t have any leftovers, then use diced lamb pieces which you can fry or grill first, then follow the recipe. Serve it with mashed potatoes, rice, couscous or flatbread and a crispy salad on the side.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 2 carrots
- 1 Tbsp tomato purée
- 1 Tbsp chopped rosemary, leaves only
- 1 tsp dried marjoram or oregano
- 1 tin chopped tomatoes or 4 ripe tomatoes, chopped

- 2 cups leftover chopped roasted lamb pieces
- To serve: chopped mint leaves and/or crumbled feta cheese
Instructions

- Add the herbs and stir gently for a couple of minutes, then add the tomato purée.
- Keep stirring for a minute, then add the chopped tomatoes, gravy and stock.
- Bring to the boil and cook over low heat for 10 minutes, then add the chickpeas and your chosen greens and cook for another 5 minutes or so.
