Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites.

The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Instructions

Brown the Lamb
1

Heat a frying pan on medium-high heat and add the lamb mince. Use a wooden spoon to break it up. Cook until browned, 8-10 mins.

Prep the Veggies
2

Halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion into half moons. Halve, then remove the core from the yellow pepper and thinly slice. Peel and grate the ginger. Drain the chickpeas in a colander and rinse them under cold water.

Cook the Rice
3

Pop the basmati rice and star anise in a large saucepan. Pour in the water (amount specified in the ingredient list), add a pinch of salt and put the pan on high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cover with a lid (or some foil). Cook for 10 mins. Then remove from the heat (with the lid still on) and set aside for another 10 mins. TIP: The rice will continue to cook in its own steam.

Make the Curry
4

When the lamb has browned, add the mustard seeds, onion and pepper. Cook for 5 mins. Add the Sri Lankan curry powder and ginger. Cook for 1 minute more. Add the chickpeas and tomato passata. Bring to the boil. Lastly add the chicken stock powder and water (amount specified in the ingredient list). Lower the heat and simmer gently until the liquid has reduced by half, 10-15 mins.

Add the Spinach
5

Meanwhile, roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all). When the curry has been bubbling away for 5 mins, stir in the spring greens and cook until the greens have softened and the sauce has thickened, another 5-7 mins. Remove from the heat. Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper if necessary. Stir in half the coriander.

Finish and Serve
6

Take the lid off the rice, remove the star anise and fluff up with a fork. Spoon the rice onto plates and serve your lamb and chickpea curry on top. Finish with a sprinkle of coriander. Enjoy!
