LAMB, CHORIZO & BEAN STIR-FRY

This dish is best cooked in a wok, or large non-stick frypan. 

Tip: oil the lamb rather than adding oil to the wok our pan, you will use less oil, and the lamb will brown well.

Cook time: 8 minutes
Serves 4

Ingredients
500g lamb strips
1 tbsp oil
2 chorizo sausages cut into thin slices
1 red onion, cut into thin wedges
1 red capsicum, thinly sliced

200 g green beans, trimmed and cooked until tender
juice of one lemon
baby spinach leaves

3. Reheat the wok, add remaining oil and heat. Add the sliced chorizo and cook until well browned, remove and reserve with the lamb. Add the onion and capsicum to wok, stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the cannellini and green beans and lemon juice, toss to combine.
