Method
step 1
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan, add the lamb and brown quickly all over. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes until softened then stir in the spices and rice.
Pour over the stock, bring to a simmer and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Turn the heat down and cook gently until all the stock has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Stir through the spinach for the last minute of cooking until wilted.
