First, to make the chicken sauce, peel and finely chop five medium carrots.

Slice a large green bell pepper into small chunks.

Peel and crush two garlic cloves.

Peel and thinly slice one medium onion.

Step 5

Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan.

Step 6

Throw in the sliced onions and the crushed garlic.

Cook on medium heat until the onions have softened.

Next, put in about two pounds of chicken mince. You could also do this exact recipe but use lamb mince.

Add one teaspoon dried oregano.

Pour in 1/2 pint vegetable stock.

Simmer for 30 minutes on a low heat.
