Directions

  1. 1Start by sautéing your onion with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. 2Once the onion is soft, push it to one side of the pan and add in your lamb.
  3. 3Let the lamb sit undisturbed so it develops a crust, then flip and break up with a wooden spoon.
  4. 4Clear space in the pan, add in the tomato paste, let that caramelize and deepen in color.
  5. 5While the tomato paste is caramelizing, sprinkle your red pepper flakes into that rendered fat to bloom.
  6. 6Stir everything together, then throw on as much garlic as you like, and give that a stir.
  7. 7Deglaze with red wine.
  8. 8Let that simmer for about a minute or so, and then add in your fresh thyme and rosemary, Worcestershire and Dijon.
  9. 9Give that a stir and then pour in your beef broth and bring everything to a gentle simmer.
  10. 10Add your uncooked Noki and your frozen veggies directly into the pan, cover and simmer until the Noki is tender, stirring occasionally, adding a splash or two of broth if it needs to loosen up a bit.
  11. 11Pour in the cream and let that simmer until it's glossy and slightly thickened.
  12. 12Finish with as much parmesan as you want and some freshly cracked black pepper.
