This Lamb and Lentil Ragout is a hearty ragout with olives, tomatoes and herbs. Sauce is the vital part of this dish so we have prepared it using top quality ingredients; Knorr Jus with Colman’s English Mustard. We recommend using Knorr Beef Shawarma seasoning to marinade all kinds of meat, not just lamb. See the full recipe below.

Add the olives to the pan with the lentils. Toast for 5 minutes then add the water 200ml at a time, refilling when it goes dry.
• When the lentils are cooked and only a little thick liquid remains, add the diced tomato to the lentils. Finely chop the herbs and add those too. Finish by stirring in the olive oil and set aside.

2. Lamb Cutlets

• Marinade lamb with Knorr Beef Shawarma Marinade and chopped rosemary for 4-6 hours before grilling to desired level. Approx. 12-15 minutes for medium.
