Everybody loves a quick and easy stir-fry. Here’s a delicious, easy and speedy black pepper Lamb recipe that’ll satisfy the whole family. It has amazing colours from the bounty of vegetables and packs a seriously powerful flavour punch. Here, we use capsicum, which not only tastes great but is an amazing source of vitamin C that helps you absorb more iron from plant sources. The best thing about this recipe is you can load up with any and as much vegetables as you wish. Good ones to go with this black pepper lamb recipe include baby corn, broccoli, snow peas, or mushrooms.
I used to have a big aversion to lamb and mutton, and I still don’t love its gamey taste. But when combined with black pepper, Chinese rice wine, garlic and onion, it does wonders to reduce the gaminess. Be generous with the black pepper as it completes the flavor profile for the ultimate zing. As lamb is a red meat (as the meat of young sheep), it’s best to have it in moderation. At most 5 times a week, with each serving being a palm-sized 100g. This is because guidelines for cancer prevention recommend a limit of up to 500g red meat per week without increasing risk of colorectal cancer.
Enjoy this perfect no-fuss dinner for busy weeknights!
