We splashed out of a leg of Lamb for Christmas Day. Quite an investment for us and far too much meat for one sitting. So Sue cobbled this together with the left-over meat.

1 Tsp of ground Turmeric
½ a Tsp of Fennel Seeds
2 Tsp of Chilli Powder
A 400g tin of Chopped Tomatoes, plus 400g of water

(4) Add the remaining spices and stir in.
(5) Add the chopped Tomatoes and water.
(6) Add the Lamb reducing the heat and simmer for 1 ½ to 2 hours.
We had a little Pork mince in the fridge so Sue decided to make a variation on her Monster Burger. We're calling this the Boar Burger! Yes it's a bit elaborate, but it was fun – tasted really goos and fed three of us ( Including Buster the Dog!) For less than the cost of a “Reasonably Content Meal from Burgers R Us”!!!! ( Let's not get into Registered Name wars - but you know the place I mean.....)

200g Pork mince
1 small Onion, finely diced
Onion Salt
