    Fantastic in the slow cooker - just over three hours to tendorise the lamb. A great low-cost family meal, the kids loved it!

    I have made this several times now, sometimes with lamb and sometimes with lamb meatballs. I usually do it in the oven and add a bag of baby spinach about half an hour from the end of cooking time to up the veg content. Easy but very tasty.
