Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6. Heat the oil in a large, flameproof casserole and cook the lamb and onion for 5 minutes until browned. Stir in the rice and turmeric and cook for 30 seconds, then add the curry paste, butternut squash, sweet potato, stock and apricots.

  2. Cover the dish and bake for 30–35 minutes until the rice is tender and the stock absorbed.
