Allergens

  • Nearly every stock cube and pot lists celery. Home-made stock without it carries no flag.

Flags follow UK labelling rules and come from the ingredients as listed, not from any particular brand. Check the packet before cooking for somebody with an allergy.

Method

  1. Brown the lamb in the oil in a large pot in two batches over a high heat. Set it aside.

  2. Soften the chopped onion and carrot in the same pot for ten minutes. Add the sliced garlic and rosemary for a minute.

  3. Return the lamb with the tomatoes and stock. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook on the lowest heat for an hour and a quarter, until the lamb is tender.

  4. Add the beans and cook uncovered for fifteen minutes to thicken. Season, and grate the lemon zest over just before serving.

Worth knowing

  • Makes four. Trimming the lamb before it goes in is the single thing that keeps the figure where it is. Leg with the fat left on is roughly 100 kcal more a serving.
  • The beans are the starch. Add crusty bread and the serving goes up by about 120 kcal per slice.
