LAMB, with SPINACH

1 pound ground lamb
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 onions - chopped
2 bulbs garlic
Kohlrabi - chopped into chunks
all the peas Chopped into chunks - shell and all
1 head of Cauliflower roughly chopped
1 small yellow pepper (had on in my frig) sliced into strips
1 pound of spinach leaves - stems removed
2 cans Chickpeas rinsed  ( I precook mine from dried - to avoid salt)
5 tbsp Plain Yogurt
1 tsp Garam Masala
1 tsp fresh grated Ginger
1 tsp Coriander
1 tsp Cumin
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1/4 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cayenne
1 tsp Ground Cloves


Pour Olive Oil into Large skillet - and heat.  Place in Lamb and allow to cook.  Add Onions, and garlic and spices and chickpeas (TIP - if you take a small little dish - you can premix the spices and then dump them in).

Allow to Lamb to gently cook through over medium heat.  Add all choped vegetables (Except Spinach and Peas) and mix into the meat mixture.  When everything coated and looking soft, add the spinach and cover skillet.  Allow the spinach to wilt, and then mix together. Add the chopped peas and the yogurt and blend together for a creamy mixture.  Let simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes.  Serve.  FABULOUS!
