Ingredients
- 300g lean lamb mince
- 400g butternut squash, peeled and cubed
- 100g kale, stems removed and chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (30ml)
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 120ml vegetable broth or bone broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (15ml)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb mince, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Remove the lamb from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the cubed butternut squash and the broth to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
- Return the cooked lamb to the skillet. Add the chopped kale and stir everything together, cooking for another 2–3 minutes until the kale is wilted.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm.
Tips & Substitutions
- Make it spicier: Add a pinch of chili flakes or smoked paprika for a gentle heat.
- Different protein: Substitute ground beef or turkey if lamb isn’t available.
- Vegetarian twist: Swap lamb for lentils or chickpeas and use vegetable broth for a plant-based version.
