Ingredients

  • Low-calorie cooking spray
  • 600 g lean lamb steaks visible fat removed, cut into bite-size chunks
  • 2 large onions cut in half and sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves crushed
  • 1 medium aubergine/eggplant cut into small cubes
  • 2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • 4 Tbsp tomato purée/tomato paste
  • 600 ml lamb or chicken stock
  • 300 g dried orzo
  • 50 g reduced-fat feta crumbled
  • fresh flat-leaf parsley chopped, to serve

Instructions

  • Place a large, non-stick saucepan over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray.
  • Add the lamb and cook for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned all over. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Spray a little more cooking spray into the pan and add the onions, garlic, aubergine, rosemary, oregano, ground cinnamon, and a splash of hot water. Cook for 10 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Add more water if required and stir occasionally.
  • Add the lamb back to the pan with the cinnamon stick, canned tomatoes, tomato purée, and stock. Stir to combine and bring to the boil.
  • Stir in the orzo and reduce to a simmer and cook covered for 30 minutes or until the orzo is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent orzo from sticking.
  • Discard the cinnamon stick and divide between four warmed bowls or plates. Sprinkle evenly with the crumbled feta and chopped parsley.
