Lamb and Chive Bake

I love being able to go in the garden and pick fresh produce for our meals. Chives are one of the herbs which I love to add. Many people automatically add rosemary to lamb but in this wholesome bake I have added chives.

This meal is delicious all year round. Eating in the garden al fresco near the fresh herbs or in the winter as a warming, comfort meal.

This is what I did...

Lamb and Chive Bake

Ingredients

400g lamb mince

1 onion, chopped

200g mixed frozen vegetables

1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes

1 tbsp tomato puree

1 lamb stock cube

2 tbsp chopped fresh chives

750g potatoes, sliced

50g mature cheddar, grated

Method

1 - Place the potato slices in a pan of boiling water and simmer for 20 minutes

2 - Gently fry the lamb mince in a large pan with the onions for 5 minutes or until browned off thoroughly

3 - Add the chopped chives to the lamb and mix

4 - Pour over the chopped tomatoes and stir in the tomato puree

5 - Add the frozen vegetables to the sauce

6 - Bring to the boil, crumble in the lamb stock, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes

7 - Transfer the lamb mince sauce to an oven proof casserole dish

8 - Layer over the potato slices and sprinkle over the grated cheese

9 - Place under a high grill until the cheese has melted and is starting to brown off then serve

If you have any chive flowers they make a lovely, edible decoration that are full of the fresh flavours of chives.

This is not only a meal full of goodness but is an easy meal to make that the whole family will love!
