Lamb, potato and orange zest stew
(Serves 2)
150g baby potatoes, sliced in half
4 lamb chops
1 small head of fennel, chopped
Juice and zest of 1 small orange
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves
1tbsp olive oil
1 small glass of white wine
300ml vegetable stock
2tsp plain flour
1tbsp chopped fresh parsley
In a casserole pot add the olive oil and cook the onion and garlic over a medium heat for a couple of minutes.
Add fennel and potatoes and continue cooking until the fennel begins to soften, stir in the flour then pour in the white wine and cook for a couple of minutes before adding the vegetable stock and orange juice and zest. Turn the heat down and simmer.
Brown the lamb chops in a little olive oil in a hot pan then transfer to the pot. Add a little more vegetable if required and simmer away until the potatoes are tender. Finish with the chopped parsley just before serving. Great with some spring greens on the side.
