Things From The Past: Lamb And Lentil Stew

I thought I'd quickly throw up a selection of cool stuff I've cooked and photographed in the past - before we kicked off this blog.  These will have quite brief descriptions as I'm supposed to be off working.  In fact, I'm only here because a slow-moving progress bar distracted me long enough to write stuff.

First, lamb and lentil stew!   This was pretty simple: diced lamb and some veg went into a frying pan, lentils were boiled in a saucepan, then the two were brought together and liberally doused with smoked paprika. Deliciousness - and relatively quick for a stew (~45mins), as lentils take only 15mins or so to boil, much less than some other legumes/beans, and don't require pre-soaking. Still more of a weekend-night dish than a quick weekday slapdash. I've been meaning to try this again slow-cooker-style some time.
