Lamb and bean casserole

Preheat the oven to 180°C, 350°F, gas mark 4.

Heat nearly all the oil in a large frying pan and fry the lamb pieces, in batches, over a high heat until browned all over. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a shallow ovenproof dish.

Add the rest of the oil to the pan and fry the onion for 4-5 mins. Stir in the pasta sauce and 150ml (1/4pt) water and bring to the boil.

Pour the sauce over the lamb and stir in the canned beans. Cover and cook in the oven for 1-1½ hrs until the lamb is tender, stirring occasionally. Adjust the seasoning to taste before serving.
