Spiced Lamb with Green Peppers

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

I love slow-cooked spiced lamb on chilly winter nights, and this recipe is a modern twist to an old classic.

I’m almost embarrassed to say what I’m going to say: I LOVE winter! Yes, I really, really, do. I love everything about it: the snow-covered rooftops, cashmere sweaters and scarfs, hot chocolate dunked biscotti, Hubby Dear moaning while scraping ice off his windshield… Okay, scratch that. Maybe I don’t truly enjoy watching him do that, but it’s just a part of the season I’ve come to reckon with, like baking cookies. Yes, quite like that, except not so rewarding. Well, you get what I mean!

The reason for my embarrassment is because I seem to invite such odd looks from people when I say it. They all look at me in an ‘are-you-serious-or-just-plain-crazy’ kinda way. But I beg to differ! I mean, wouldn’t you prefer engulfing yourself in soft warm fabrics and eating rich stews as opposed to sweating throughout the day? I do at least.


This past weekend, when we were snowed in with nothing to do other than cosy up by the fireplace and catch up on a couple of movies, I decided to cook a delicious, comforting dinner dor us. It was the perfect occasion for some lamb – the weather outside was cold and gloomy, and I had plenty of time on my hands to watch my curry simmer gently in my Dutch Oven.
