Lamb and smoke, which needs no argument.
Ingredients
- 600g lamb mince
- 50g pine nuts, 50g raisins, roughly chopped
- 1 egg and 60g breadcrumbs
- 700g passata
- 1 tbsp Sweet Sting Hot Honey
- 400g spaghetti
Method
- 01
Mix the lamb, pine nuts, raisins, egg, breadcrumbs and plenty of salt. Roll into 20 balls and chill 15 minutes so they hold.
- 02
Brown them all over in a wide pan. They do not need to cook through yet.
- 03
Add the passata and hot honey, cover, and simmer 35 minutes on low.
- 04
Taste the sauce before serving — if it is still sharp, another teaspoon of hot honey rather than salt.
- 05
Cook the spaghetti, and finish it in the pan with a ladle of sauce so it grips.
