This is a satisfying dish that blends the rich, savory flavors of ground lamb with fresh vegetables. This recipe is designed for simplicity and speed, making it an ideal choice for busy weeknights or quick lunches. Ground lamb provides a robust flavor and a hearty texture, while an assortment of vegetables adds crunch and nutritional benefits. The combination is seasoned with aromatic spices, creating a dish that’s not only easy to make but also incredibly delicious.
While we do use lamb as the base of the dish, any ground meat will work here – beef, chicken, turkey, or pork. Depending on the leanness of the meat, you may need to add some extra oil in to help with moisture. You can use fresh spinach in this dish, I just tend to keep frozen spinach on hand as it lasts a much longer time. If saving leftovers, make sure to store the toppings separately so that they are not part of the re-heating process.
