Ingredients

Lamb Chilli

  • 1 lamb oyster shoulder
  • 1-2 Tbsp Mexican spice mix
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 brown onion
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 can chilli beans
  • 70g tomato paste
  • 1-1½ tsp beef stock powder (1 for slow cooker, 1½ for oven)
  • 1-1½ cups boiling water (1 for slow cooker, 1½ for oven)
  • 1 Tbsp sweet chilli sauce
  • 125g frozen corn

Rice

  • 300g jasmine rice
  • 2¼ cups water

To Serve

  • 1 Lebanese cucumber
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 125g sour cream
  • 2 Tbsp chopped coriander

Steps

  1. Pat lamb dry and rub with Mexican spice mix, garlic and salt. Thinly slice onion and finely dice carrot. Place in slow cooker/casserole dish, cover and set aside. Bring a half full kettle to the boil.
  2. Combine beef stock powder and boiling water in a heat-proof bowl. Add chilli beans, tomato paste, beef stock and sweet chilli sauce and stir to combine. Cover and set aside.
  3. Preheat oven to 200°C. Add prepared sauce to lamb and slow cook, on low for 8-9 hours, or cover and cook in the oven for about 2 hours 45 minutes, until chilli has thickened and is cooked through.
  4. When lamb has 25 minutes cook time remaining, combine rice, water and a pinch of salt in a medium pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  5. When chilli is ready, remove lamb and place on a chopping board. Pull lamb off the bone, roughly chop and return to slow cooker/casserole dish, along with corn and cook for a further 3-5 minutes, until corn is tender. Season to taste. Finely dice cucumber.
  6. Spoon ¾ cup rice into each bowl and top with chilli con carne, Parmesan, sour cream, cucumber and coriander.
