Not much effort for a lot of flavour. It works well in bigger batches too, so make extra and freeze it in individual portions for the evenings when cooking feels like too much.

This is a dinner you get going early and then leave alone. The lamb sits on a pile of chopped veg with red lentils, smoked paprika, red wine and olives, and by teatime it's tender and the lentils have thickened the sauce. Lemon zest and juice go in with everything else, which stops it feeling heavy. There's a bit of chopping at the start. After that the slow cooker does the work. It's 392 calories with 39g of protein, so it's properly filling.
