This time a dish that isn't vegetarian, but mostly contains vegetable protien.

One Pot Lamb Dinner (Soup)

1/2 yellow onion
1 medium carrot
1 stalk celery
1/2 cup cabbage
1 can of mixed beans (mine was chickpea, kidney beans, black eyed peas and romanos)
1 can of V-GO (v8 juice)
the V-GO can refilled with water
2/3 cup lamb stock
lamb bone with leftover meat attached (optional)
1/3 cup macaroni noodles
1 tbsp paprika
1 tsp thyme
4 cloves garlic
2 tbsp mint jelly (no, I'm not kidding)
salt and pepper to taste

Dice vegetables and garlic and add to pot with 1 tbsp lamb stock, cook until slightly softened. Add remaining ingredients and simmer until the vegetables and macaroni are fully cooked. Serve with soft bread and butter, or corn muffins.

Note: Yes, the mint jelly sounds like a silly ingredient, but it really does make this soup. Lamb and mint are a classic combination, and the sweetness of the jelly truly mellows the full flavor of the broth.

Whoa, you guys have lamb stock? I have never seen lamb stock anywhere in the States before. @_@

My grocery store is pretty special/high end. It imports a lot of different things, we have Glico curry packets and pocky, and a LOT of British staples like drinking chocolate, mushy peas, brown sauce... and lamb stock.

Aaah, okay. Hrm. I can check Whole Foods, see what they have. Your recipe sounds really good, and I'd like to try it, but I'd hate to have to make a substitution for the lamb, because that sounds like the key ingredient. ._.

If all else fails just buy a small lamb shank and use that. If you buy bone-in it shouldn't come to much more than $6. (I know there's a preconception that it's an expensive meat, but cheap cuts can be had)

If you end up doing that you're going to want to increase cooking time to around an hour of slow cooking, obviously, and hold off adding the noodles until it's done.
