Lamb and Black Garlic Fajitas

Ingredients

  • 4 lamb steaks – finely sliced
  • 1 onion – finely sliced
  • 1 large sweet red pepper – sliced
  • 1 large courgette – sliced
  • 3 cloves of peeled black garlic – finely sliced
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • Half to 1 teaspoon of chilli powder (according to taste)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil or stir-fry oil for frying
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh coriander – chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Tortillas, shredded lettuce and soured cream, to serve
  • Black bean sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the lamb, onion, sweet red peppers, courgettes and black garlic in a non-metallic bowl.
  2. Mix the olive oil, limejuice, soy sauce and chilli powder together.  Pour over the lamb and vegetables.  Leave to marinade for an hour.
  3. When you are ready to eat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or stir fry oil in a wok.  Heat until it is hot.  Add the meat and vegetable mixture.
  4. Stir-fry over a high heat until the meat and vegetables are cooked.
  5. Season to taste.  Stir through the chopped fresh coriander.  As an optional extra a tablespoon of black bean sauce makes a good addition.
  6. Serve straight away with tortilla wraps, lettuce and sour cream.

**These make an excellent lunchtime treat.  Great for children!  You can substitute the lamb for chicken or for a vegetarian version add different vegetables such as mange tout and baby corn.
Serves 4
