Slow-Cooked Lamb with feta and mint

This Mediterranean Dip leans on feta and mint to do the heavy lifting. We slow-cook the Lamb for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the feta and mint elements, and pat the lamb dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the lamb. Cover and cook low and slow, stirring now and then, until rich and spoonable.

Stir in the extra-virgin olive oil and the rest of the feta and mint flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the kale along with a splash of stock or water, then cover and cook gently until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
