The world has come to an end. Husband said- you’ve found me a lamb dish that I like. I know, right? 🙂

It’s been a good day. Lots of visible work around the house got done, a cake with plums got baked, 3 productive hours in the garden were spent too. And then, having washed the dirt off my fingernails I got cracking with dinner. Recipe comes from Waitrose magazine, I’ve bought all I needed there yesterday and ended up with a lovely dinner this evening.

First I trimmed and roughly chopped 2 lamb leg steaks, seasoned with salt and herb pepper and browned off on olive oil. Large chopped onion and 2 mashed garlic cloves in. Some green beans, not in the recipe. A small amount of fresh rosemary, 2 bay leaves, 2 fresh tomatoes and a good splash of passata, a tsp of honey, some salt, 200 ml of chicken stock. All this left simmering under the lid while orzo cooked to the packet instructions. Once the lamb was soft, orzo went into the casserole, shortly before serving a good handful of fresh spinach, just to wilt.

We had it with crusty bread and a half bottle of French rose. Eaten to the last grain of orzo. Delicious. And will be made again.
