I came across this Courgetti With Spicy and Minty Lamb Sauce recipe when I was looking at Pinterest, and it’s been lying low in my subconscious since because it was the first thing I thought of in my deliriously hungry state. Piled on top of courgetti, this rich and spicy lamb sauce 100% hits the spot.
Courgetti With Spicy and Minty Lamb Sauce
Print RecipeIngredients
- 3-4 courgettes
- 400 grams of lamb mince
- 1 tin of tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon of or decent squirt of tomato puree
- Glug of leftover red wine
- 1 white onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2-3 chillies
- A handful of fresh mint
- A handful of basil
- Grated rind of 1 lemon
- Cheddar or parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Sweat the chillies, garlic and onion in olive oil using a heavy-bottomed pan.
- Then add the mince and let it brown before chucking in the mint, basil and lemon rind.
- Throw in the tinned tomatoes, puree, slug of red wine and let this reduce for about an hour or as long as you can wait (I couldn’t wait any longer!) Alternatively, you could pile the mix at this point into your slow cooker and leave it all day long.
- Spiralise your courgettes and then steam for about 5 minutes.
- Pile your lamb on top of the courgetti, top with a drizzle of olive oil, grated cheddar or parmesan and some more fresh mint.
