Background
For midweek suppers or large parties a comforting, spiced stew is an ideal dish. This minced lamb stew is a one-pot dish which can be made with your favourite root vegetable β potato, sweet potato and swede all work well. If youβre into food-combining, make it with swede or turnip and youβll get a βprotein-richβ meal. If you want it spicy, use 50:50 paprika and chilli powder. Serve it with a crispy salad.
