Thai Lamb Grain Bowl

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the galangal and chilli 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 kaffir lime leaves and the rest of the galangal and chilli flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

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