Description

Food for the soul comes to mind when we think about this lip licking dish… with heart warming herbs and spices that underpin a tangy kick of lemon and a subtle sweetness that offsets the heat – all these wonderful flavours infused in generous chunks of pumpkin and tender, juicy pieces of lamb. #yum #mouthwatering

I’m inclined to proclaim that when we tasted this, it was immediately addictive – similar to the effects of MSG – but without the baddies!

This recipe didn’t have time for hours of testing, it was a spur of the moment, split second decision that went something like this… ” – must create something – don’t know what to make – it’s freezing outside – need comfort – need heat – maybe I’ll just make toast – nah need to cook something – what is there to cook – don’t wanna go to the supermarket – maybe this’ll work – nah maybe this’ll work – oh there’s leftover soup – nah there’s a whole pumpkin – do I really want to start this now – toast it is… – oh yeah there’s some lamb in the meat fridge – oh there’s a pomegranate too – those tomatoes really need to be used for something – …..” ….. So I’ll spare you the rest of that thought train (yes there was more).

In the space of about 2 minutes, while opening cupboards and fridge doors it was apparent that something had to be prepared or it was going to be toast and leftover soup… anyone else with me when I say sometimes you just want something different?

That, my dear 1Foodies, is the long winded story of how we came to make this super scrumptious dish.

It’s quite easy to prepare, particularly if you have a well stocked spice rack and after that it’s just a matter of letting the oven do the work (and warm the kitchen). We hope that this dish brings you warmth and comfort as it did for us this chilly season!
