Heinz chopped tomatoes going cheap at Tesco

Poet_2

just done an on line shop at Tesco. I normally buy Tesco's own brand chopped toms at 45p for a 400g tin. They're doing 4x400g Heinz chopped toms as a BOGOF and it works out at 24p a tin- only 3p a tin more expensive that the cheapo value chopped toms!

brown some cubes of boneless shoulder of lamb
then chuck in a cple of chopped red onions and 2-3 chopped garlic cloves and saute.

then chuck in;
1-2 diced peppers (I use the long, red sweet ones usually)
1 tin chopped toms
1 tbsp ras el hanout (moroccan mixed spice) you can use ordinary mixed spice but worth sourcing a packet of the proper stuff- I got mine from 'seasoned pioneers' on line.
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon harissa paste
1 handful chopped dried apricots (if you're going to cook it for longer, leave them whole as they tend to melt!)
1 handful flaked almonds

add a little bit of water if too thick

put in the oven at about 180 for about 60-90 mins, I sometimes put it in for 4 hours at 150-160ish-makes the lamb super tender.

it really is gorgeous, we have it with cous cous which soaks up all the lovely spicy juices

MMMMMMMM I feel a tagine coming on. Thanks for the heads up for 'seasoned pioneers' it looks like an excellent site.

you're welcome, I make it at least once a fortnight, we love it- we get our lamb for £6.50 a kg from a local organic farm so that's a bargain too! Not only is it organic, it's 'processed' on site so no stressful journies for the animals either.

Have to agree. My mother in law had something similar with rice at a restaurant a couple of weeks ago. Nicest thing I've tasted in ages.
