Greek Lamb and French Fries Bake
How good is this? With all the flavours of Greece, this is like a kebab in a bake!
Ingredients
600g bag frozen French Fries with Garlic, Herb and Twist of Lemon
500g lamb mince
1 red onion, finely chopped
410g can rich & thick chopped tomatoes and paste with mixed herbs
1/3 cup sundried tomato pesto
1¼ cups grated pizza cheese
½ medium green capsicum, cut into 1cm pieces
100g Greek-style feta, crumbled
¼ cup thinly sliced fresh mint
¼ cup pitted kalamata olives, halved
Method
-
Cook fries according to packet directions.
-
Meanwhile, heat an oiled, medium, ovenproof frying pan over a medium to high heat. Add lamb. Cook, stirring to break up mince for about 3 minutes, or until changed in colour. Add onion. Cook, stirring, until lamb is well browned and onion is soft.
-
Stir in tomatoes and pesto. Bring to boil. Gently boil, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
-
Toss cooked fries and cheese in a bowl. Sprinkle over lamb mixture in pan.
-
Cook in a very hot oven (220C) for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until top is golden brown. Remove. Sprinkle with capsicum, feta, mint and olives. Serve.
TIP! For a change, try replacing with French fries with potato gems. Any variety of mince can be used, such as pork and veal, beef or chicken.
