Lamb Bolognese

Tonight for my dinner i had Lamb Bolognese. I got this from my bff and her weight watchers recipe book. The first time i had this was a few weeks ago when i stayed at her house. It's nice and spicy and very filling.

Serves 2-----------------1 1/2 syns per serving

fry light

1 onion, chopped

185g (6 1/2oz) lean lamb mince

2 large garlic cloves, chopped finely

1 tsp dried thyme

200ml (7fl oz) passata

100ml (3 1/2fl oz) vegetable stock

25g (1oz) dried apricots, chopped into small pieces

75g (2 3/4oz) canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

a few splashes of Tabasco (optional)

a few fresh coriander leaves

salt and freshly ground pepper

1) Heat a lidded non stick saucepan, spray with fry light and cook the onion for 5 minutes, covered stirring regularly until softened. Add the lamb and cook stirring regularly to break up any lumps, for 5 minutes until browned all over.

2) Stir in the garlic and thyme, then add the passata, stock, apricots and cannellini beans. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer over a low heat for 15 minutes. Add a splash of Tabasco, if using then partially cover the pan and cook for a further 15 minutes until the sauce has reduced and is thickened. Season to taste.

3) Serve with a jacket potato or mash potato

This is really worth trying and i hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

I need to have a reasonable night tonight as i have to be up early in the morning to go and help out at my consultants thursday groups.

Take care and happy slimming
