A complete meal in a natural bowl — and a family dinner that looks more impressive than it is

Stuffed capsicums are one of those dishes that feel considered and generous without requiring much effort. The capsicums act as both the vessel and a key flavour component — they sweeten as they roast, infusing everything inside with a gentle, caramelised flavour. With a grass-fed beef and rice filling seasoned with herbs and spices, this is a genuinely satisfying, complete meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 large red or yellow capsicums
  • 480g Your Farmer grass-fed beef mince
  • 1 cup cooked rice (about 1/2 cup raw — leftover rice is perfect, or cook it while you prep)
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tin crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 100g feta, crumbled
  • Fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
  • Olive oil, salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup beef stock or water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 190°C.

Slice the tops off the capsicums and remove the seeds and white membrane inside. Keep the tops — you’ll use them as lids.

4 capsicums

Brown the beef mince in a wide pan over high heat. Remove and set aside.

480g beef mince

In the same pan, sauté the onion until soft. Add garlic, cumin, paprika, and oregano. Cook 1 minute.

Roast for 35–40 minutes until the capsicums are tender and lightly charred.

💡 Choose capsicums that sit flat — a slightly flat base means they won’t tip over in the roasting tin. If yours are round, slice a very thin piece from the base to create a flat surface.

Greek-Style Lamb Roast with Lemon and Oregano

Lemon, oregano and time — the Greek family-table treatment for the whole cut

Every Greek family has a version of this and none of them are wrong. Garlic, dried oregano and lemon get worked deep into the lamb, potatoes go underneath to catch everything that falls, and the oven runs slow enough that nobody has to watch it. What comes out isn't pink, carve-at-the-table lamb — it's the other thing entirely: golden on top, giving underneath, with lemony potatoes that half the table will fight over harder than the meat. It's Sunday cooking from a country that takes Sundays seriously.

Low-and-Slow BBQ Lamb Ribs with Dry Rub

Paprika, brown sugar, patience — American barbecue discipline meets Australian lamb

This is the recipe for the day you've decided the barbecue is the afternoon's entertainment, not just the cooking appliance. No foil, no shortcuts: a paprika and brown sugar rub, a hooded barbecue held low around 140C, and three or so unhurried hours while the fat renders, the spice sets into proper bark and the smell slowly takes over the street. Lamb ribs suit the American low-and-slow treatment better than most people expect — they're smaller and fattier than pork ribs, so you get all the bark in less time. Pour something cold. This one's a sit-outside recipe.

Grilled grass-fed lamb chump chops sliced over a warm French-style lentil salad with mustard dressing.

Grilled Chump Chops with Warm Lentil Salad

Charred chops over mustardy lentils — the bistro order, made at home

Walk into any honest bistro in France and there'll be lamb with lentils somewhere on the board. It works because the two halves trade favours — earthy lentils soak up the lamb's resting juices, and a sharp Dijon dressing cuts the richness of a properly charred chop. The lentils simmer away on their own for twenty-five minutes while you see to the chops, so the timing looks after itself. Hearty without being heavy, smart enough for guests, and most of it comes from the pantry.
