My favourite all time keto recipe. A bit of faff remembering to marinade ahead of time but still really really easy prep etc.

Marinate lamb 2-12 hrs in

900g lamb chunks
1 medium red onion chopped
4 cloves garlic minced
Zest and juice 1 lemon (I’ve used lemon juice from a bottle in a push)
1tbsp mustard
60ml olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven 150c or 300f gas 2

Add to marinaded lamb
1 medium swede diced 3cm cubed
2 medium green bell peppers (capsicums)
1 large tomato diced or 240g chopped tinned tomatoes

Cover and bake 3hrs 40 mins
Remove lid (add Optional 225g halloumi diced)
bake further 20mins

Rest 10 mins

I am guessing this is for more than one serving, @HSSS?

Yes. It’s allegedly for 6 but in reality it does me and 3 teenage boys good sized portions with us all wanting seconds! Mines marinating right now

Mmmmm. Sounds good.

Curious as to why this has swede in it though? I thought swede was quite high carb/GI? Better than potatoes, but would aubergine or courgette - added later (since they are softer) be a good replacement maybe?

Small amounts of swede aren’t too bad, admittedly not ideal but overall in the recipe I guess the totals are pretty low. I’ve subbed them out for turnips sometimes which are lower. Aubergine and courgettes are a totally different taste/texture imo so maybe that’s why they aren’t used.
