I was asked to come up with a tapas-style recipe for Tasty Easy Lamb (who sponsored this post) for National Curry Week 2017. I love lamb, and curry, and mini food, so needless to say I immediately agreed! Although lamb is probably my favourite joint for a roast dinner, there’s so much more you can do with it! Shepherd’s pie and hotpot are probably the first things that come to mind, but spices, curries and even salads (wow, that’s an old photo, I must re-shoot that one!!) work amazingly well. I decided to make these pretty little open samosas using minced lamb and filo pastry. I’ve gone three-fold on the chilli - using fresh chillies, chilli powder and chilli flakes. However, I’ve only used small amounts, so it leaves a lovely spicy-warm taste, rather than blowing your head off! You can tone it down or leave it out completely if you prefer. Gracey’s been a little obsessed with samosas lately - ever since she had one for breakfast at the treacle market up the road from us in Macclesfield (it’s called the treacle market after a centuries old accident when a horse drawn wagon overturned, spilling its cargo of treacle onto the cobbles - I love little stories like that).Anyway. She requested one for breakfast, then she asked if she could take one for her packed lunch the next day at school! Despite the chilli-heat, they got the Gracey-seal-of-approval straight away. You can make them ahead and reheat later, so they make a great party food or canape. And with Christmas coming fast (OMG only 11 weekends to go!) we all need, like a zillion party food ideas 🙂 Check out more lovely lamb recipes inspired by National Curry Week at Tasty Easy Lamb. Thinking about making an Indian style banquet? How about serving up Beef Kofta with Saag Aloo, Chicken Tikka Chapati Burritos and maybe finishing with some White Chocolate and Pistachio cake. Yum!
