1kg (2lb) neck lamb fillet
2 tbsp sunflower oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 large onion, sliced
2 level tbsp flour
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander

4. Drain and rinse the beans, add to the lamb about 10 minutes before the end of cooking with the mango chutney.
5. Garnish with sprigs of coriander or mint. Serve with seasoned Greek yoghurt (mix yoghurt with 2 teaspoons chopped coriander or mint), and rice.

Not spicy - in fact very bland. Only tasted of tomatoes really. Would do again but add a little chilli and lemon juice, maybe some grated ginger. Would reduce amount of tomatoes and add a little stock.

This one-pot lamb meal requires minimal effort and tastes delicious. Leave it to cook on the stove whilst you help the kids with their homework. It is also a very economical meal as it uses a cheaper cut of meat.
