A friend from Italy once gave me the most amazing recipe for Lamb Ragu. It took about 8 hours to make, and was truly delicious! Quite a bit of time has passed since we last made it traditionally as now we have this fabulous Lamb Ragu Thermomix version which is faster and just as delicious! All you need is some leftover lamb roast! Here’s how we did it… (you can also listen to us talk about in Episode 8 of the podcast)
This makes a full TM bowl of Lamb Ragu. If you don’t have enough lamb to make a full bowl, just halve the recipe. We’ve even quartered it before to serve 2 (making the most of those leftovers!). Remember, if you double or halve a recipe, adjust the cooking time by 20%.
To the Thermomix bowl add…
650g roast lamb, in pieces (if you have a bit more / less, use what you have. If you have double the amount, you may wish to adjust the quantities of the other items too)
Speed 5, for 5 seconds. Set aside in a bowl.
Then, put in:
200g onion or leek
2 cloves of garlic
100g celery
200g carrot
Leaves from one large stalk of rosemary & 3 stalks of thyme
Speed 5 for 5 seconds
Add:
20g oil
Push sides down. Reverse + Speed Soft, Varoma for 6 mins – MC off
Add:
200g red wine
Reverse + Speed Soft, Varoma for 6 mins – sit rice basket on top
Add:
Chopped up lamb
2x 400g can of crushed tomatoes
2 Tbsp TM vege stock concentrate
Reverse + speed soft, 100 degrees for 30 mins, MC inclined
Reverse + speed 5 for 5 seconds to blend.
So very delicious. Orecchiette or ‘little ears’ is the traditional pasta to have with this sauce. It is also yummy by itself, baked with eggs in the oven, with rice or steamed greens. It also freezes very well. Enjoy!

Description
This fabulous thermo mixer Lamb Ragu is fast and delicious! All you need is some leftover lamb roast! Orecchiette or ‘little ears’ is the traditional pasta to have with this sauce, but we have served it here with sweet potato noodles for a lighter post-Christmas meal. It is also yummy by itself, baked with eggs in the oven, with rice, or steamed greens.
This recipe was also featured in Episode 8 of The 4 Blades podcast: Thermomix Lamb Ragu with Leftovers.
