  • Lamb Shank & Puy Lentil Stew

    by Jessica Nguyen

    This is a wintry and comforting one pot 'set and forget' recipe that requires min effort but delivers max return and flavour. It’s a riff off my very popular Lamb Ragu recipe, but even easier.

    The shanks serve 4 and you should get 8-10 portions from the stew. I also like to have the leftover stew with rice or even mix it with pasta as another iteration of the dish. As always, the stew is also freezer friendly.

  • Lamb Ragu Rotolo

    by Jessica Nguyen

    Lasagne is a labour of love but this one is in a league of its own. This dish is inspired by the famous pinwheel lasagne from New York restaurant Don Angie. However, where they use a sausage bolognese, I thought I’d do a version using my popular Lamb Ragu recipe, which I think takes the rotolo to another level. I’ve also added a chunky basil oil for the garnish, which is a good way to use up any leftover or wilted basil you have from prepping the other components.
