1 Season the cubed lamb with the chilli flakes, cumin, salt and pepper. 2 Heat the olive oil in a pan and, once it is hot, introduce the lamb and sliced courgettes. Sear both ingredients for about five mins until they start to colour, then add the garlic.

3 After another minute, add the rest of the ingredients, except the basil and Tabasco. Cook the sauce for approximately 5 mins, add a touch of water if it dries up too much.

4 When it’s done, add some of the basil and taste to ensure the flavours balance, adding more water if it’s too thick.

5 Finally, drizzle over a few drops of Tabasco, and scatter with more basil.
