Lamb biryani is such a gorgeous, and fragrant Indian dish filled with tender bits of lamb, fluffy rice and spices. This great one-pot version is from The Hungerpots Cookbook, and although it's not strictly traditional, it's absolutely the easiest one we've ever made.

We love curry, and nothing gets us as excited as a lamb rogan josh. The trick to this is patience, and a seriously good paste. Don't scrimp on the paste ingredients, and remember it's all about low and slow. So just keep stirring occasionally and keeping an eye on that curry and you won't be disappointed.

You might be wondering where the flour is in this recipe. We've got good news: you don't need it! When the potatoes are added, they release their natural starches, which just so happen to be very good at thickening the stew. The resulting stock is velvety smooth and super flavourful.

You can't get much more comforting than a gorgeous Lancashire hotpot. The traditional British stew, hailing from the north west of England consists of chunks of lamb, topped with sliced potatoes (and we've thrown in cheese for good measure).

Don't write off making a tagine if you don't own a tagine pot. We made ours in a Dutch oven and it comes out perfectly! The lamb simmers until it is completely tender, while making your kitchen smell like a fancy Moroccan restaurant.

Koftas are SUCH a great dinner choice, as they're easy to make, but look seriously fancy. We love using a mixture of minced lamb and beef and serving these with a tahini dressing, flatbreads and pomegranate seeds.

We love a hearty meat sauce for topping our spaghetti or pappardelle. Lamb changes things up a bit and is even more tender than beef. This ragu is perfect if you want to make a big batch on Sunday night and freeze any leftovers for when your pasta craving hits — which I'm sure will be soon!

Sure, cheeseburgers are delicious. Sometimes though, we like to switch it up. These Greek(ish) lamb burgers are full of flavour and a cinch to make! We're particularly fond of the of the feta yogurt sauce, similar to tzatziki sauce, so we slather it on both sides of the bun.

It doesn't get prettier than this. This is one of those meals that comes together in 30 minutes, and the result is pretty darn amazing.

Classic stuffed peppers, but with an exotic makeover! And we love the look of them. Lightly spiced with cinnamon, allspice, cardamom, and nutmeg, these are bound to taste just as good as they look!
