Persian lamb with prunes and mint
This dish encapsulates everything we love about Middle Eastern cooking: we coat the diced lamb shoulder with aromatic spices - cumin, cardamon, cinnamon and saffron and braise it gently with onions and free-range chicken stock for several hours until sweet and tender. We add roasted pumpkin and prunes for additional sweetness and then contrast this with the tangy freshness of lime juice and mint. There's no chilli heat or garlic so it's very approachable but it's still somehow sophisticated.
