Fig Lamb Stew
We love a hearty stew. This lamb stew has gorgeous figs for sweetness and butter beans for extra protein. Make it for a cold evening and enjoy the flavorsome leftovers the next day.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp Chantal Organics Coconut Oil
- 1 butterflied lamb leg (approx. 1.2kg), trimmed and cut into 3cm cubes (we love Pure South)

- 4 garlic cloves, diced
- 1 tin Chantal Organics Chopped Tomatoes
- 1 ½ cups Chantal Organics Tomato Passata
- 1 ½ cups red wine
- 2 chicken stock cubes (we love Kallo)
