Succulent lamb paired with peppery feta cheese for a delicious meal.

Ingredients:

1.5kg diced lean lamb
1 large onion, chopped
1 long red chilli, halved lengthways
3 garlic cloves, crushed
20.00 ml finely chopped rosemary leaves
400ml dry white wine
700g btl Mutti Tomato Passata
2 bay leaves
125.00 ml kalamata olives
150g Greek feta, thinly sliced into wedges
20.00 ml mixed peppercorns, crushed
20.00 ml chopped mint
Crusty bread, to serve

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 150°C.
Heat the olive oil in a casserole over medium-high heat. Brown the diced lamb in batches for 3-4 minutes until golden, then set aside.
Drizzle in the last tablespoon of olive oil and add the onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion starts to soften. Toss in the chili, garlic, and chopped rosemary. Cook for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
Add the browned lamb back to the casserole, pour in the white wine, and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Mix in the tomato passata and bay leaves, season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Toss in the olives, cover, and bake in the oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes until the lamb is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Place the feta wedges elegantly on a plate, then generously sprinkle with the crushed mixed peppercorns and a lovely touch of half the chopped mint.
Ladle the lamb casserole into individual bowls and sprinkle with the rest of the mint. Enjoy the casserole with crumbled peppered feta on top and crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
