Lamb Roast Ragu

Holy hell. A good lamb ragu is GOOD. This is amazing with pasta, mash, or just served with some crusty bread and butter on a cold winter night. Leftovers for lunch are even better.

Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 4 hours | Serves: 4

Beef Rendang

A beautiful slow cooked curry is a great friend to our secondary beef cuts. These ingredients could also be used for a whole roast - cooked on the bone or without - in a similar method to the lamb ragu above. Dial the chillies up or down to taste. Serve with rice.

Prep time: 20 mins | Cook time: 2.5 hours | Serves: 4

Chilli Brisket

There’s a reason brisket is a *thing* these days. Slow cooking this nice fatty cut of meat means lots of flavour - melt in your mouth goodness. This version is great with some fresh or pickled asian vegies.
