Persian lamb with prunes and mint

Back to Home

HERE'S HOW WE MAKE IT

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. 

INGREDIENTS

Lamb, pumpkin, onion, chicken stock [water, free range chicken bones, onion, carrot, celery, garlic, bay leaves, parsley, black pepper], prunes, lime juice (lime juice 99.96%, potassium sorbate), olive oil, mint, salt, cumin ground, cinnamon, cardamom, saffron.

ALLERGENS

MAY CONTAIN TRACES OF:
Peanuts, Tree Nuts, Gluten, Dairy, Shellfish, Fish, Sesame, Soy, Egg, Sulphites .
PLEASE NOTE:
While we make every effort to ensure dishes are free of cross-contamination, our kitchen is not allergen free.
