Ingredients

  • 1 kg Yarramundi lamb curry cuts
  • 4 tsp olive oil

  2. In a medium saucepan, heat the remaining oil over low heat and sauté the onion until soft.
  3. Add the sweet potato to the onion mixture, then set it aside.
  4. In a large frying pan, brown the lamb in small batches, then transfer to the saucepan.
  5. In the same pan, cook the curry paste for 1 minute, then deglaze with water, scraping up any browned bits.
  6. Pour the curry paste mixture into the saucepan with the lamb and vegetables.
  7. Bring everything to a boil, then cover and simmer for 45 minutes until the lamb is tender.
  8. Stir in the coconut milk, zucchini, and peas, cooking for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
