The Lazy Cook

Here's a dead quick and easy recipe with a touch of the exotic. So, with apologies to Bob, Bing and Dorothy, I give you -

The road to Morocco

You will need -
Tin of minced lamb (I use M & S 425g size)
Good handful of frozen garlic (see post dated 12th December)
About a dozen apricots
Handful of pine nuts
Handful of sultanas
Heaped teaspoon each of ground cumin, ground coriander and ground ginger
(or alternatively a good desert spoon of ground mixed spice)
Olive oil


Method -
If you're using dried apricots then soak them in hot water until they plump up. Cut the apricots up into small pieces - scissors are easiest.
Heat a small amount of oil in a heavy-based pan (I use a wok) and chuck in the garlic.
Once the garlic is sizzling, add the lamb, and when this is heated through, the spices , apricots, nuts and sultanas.
Simmer for ten minutes or so, and then serve with some cous cous (see post dated 27th December)
