Ingredients

  • 1 red onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons tomato puree
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic or sherry vinegar
  • Handful chopped basil
  • 4 tablespoons local rapeseed oil or good olive oil
  • Juice from lemon above
  • 1 tin borlotti beans, drained
  • 2 red peppers ( preferably Ramirez long ones)

Cut the onion in half and finely slice one half and set aside. Pick the basil, set the leaves aside and finely chop the stalks.

Finely chop the other half and cook with the cooking oil, garlic and basil stalks until soft. Add the tomato puree and cook for 30 seconds. Add the vinegar and remove from heat. Blend with the olive oil and lemon juice and check seasoning.

Mix into the bean mixture. Chop the basil leaves and add and crumble in the feta.

If there are any cooking juices from the lamb, mix them in too.
