Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tbsp olive oil
500g lamb meatballs
300g baby new potatoes, thickly sliced
2 large garlic cloves, crushed
185g chargrilled vegetables, drained if in oil
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes with herbs
2 tsp light brown soft sugar
100g black olives
40g feta, crumbled
½ small bunch mint, finely shredded
1 lemon, zested

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large shallow flameproof casserole or frying pan over a medium heat. Add the meatballs and fry for 5 mins or until golden brown. Set aside on a plate.
  • Heat the remaining oil in the same pan and fry the potatoes over a medium heat for 5 mins, or until they're starting to turn golden brown.
  • Add the garlic to the pan and fry for 1 min. Stir through the chargrilled veg, tomatoes and sugar, as well as the olives. Season. Add the meatballs back to the pan, cover and cook over a medium-low heat for 30-35 mins, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid halfway through, the potatoes should be just cooked through with the liquid slightly reduced.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and serve at the table with the feta, mint and lemon zest scattered over.
