Ingredients Method
  • 8 Pace Farm eggs
  • 4 large red capsicums, halved, seeds removed
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 300g lean lamb mince
  • 1 cup canned diced tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus extra leaves to serve
  1. Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced and line a large baking tray with baking paper. Place capsicums on prepared tray and bake for 15 minutes. 
  2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring, for 4 minutes or until softened. Add garlic, lemon zest, cumin and cinnamon and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add mince and cook, breaking mince up with a wooden spoon for 3-4 minutes or until just cooked.
