This week's newsletter recipe is for my Quick & Spicy Lamb Pilaf. Cumin and turmeric provide the basis for this delicious middle eastern inspired recipe. Succulent lamb and fresh vegetables, bound together with rice - this recipe is easy, has bags of flavour and is ready in the time than it takes to to cook the rice - a perfect quick fix meal.
