Spicy lamb and vegetable stewIngredients:

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 600 g beef strips
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon peeled and grated fresh root ginger
  • 2 tablespoons yellow curry paste
  • 1 large potato, peeled and cut into 2 cm cubes

Method:

Heat the oil in a large heavy-based saucepan, add the beef, onion, garlic and ginger and cook over a high heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Reduce the heat to medium, add the curry paste and cook, stirring, for a further 1–2 minutes.
