Posie’s Place

Sorry for my lack of posts recently things we’ve been rather busy lately getting ready for the baby coming and I don’t know where the days have been disappearing. The countdown is now at 6 1/2 weeks already!

Yesterday I realized when browsing the meat counter at the supermarket that I don’t think I have eaten any lamb since I’ve been pregnant. There is a very good reason for this, I adore lamb but I love it really pink and so since this is forbidden in pregnancy I have stayed away from lamb completely.

Today I decided to change this by making a lamb curry.

I have based this recipe on one I found on the BBC Food site, to see the original recipe click here. I have however made some tweaks to suit my own taste, I hope you like it.
