Chilly winter evenings call for warming recipes packed full of veggie goodness with a hint of spice. Even better if they are simple to prepare and will please the whole family!

If this is what you’re after, look no further than our recipe for Spicy Winter Veggie and Lamb Tray Bake.

Lamb is a fantastic choice of meat for the winter months. It is locally produced here in Australia and is packed with protein. It’s also rich in vitamin B12, which is good for brain function and keeping your blood healthy.

The vegetables in this dish provide plenty of vitamin C, which will help protect your immunity over the winter months, as well as helping to reduce your risk of chronic diseases and iron deficiency.
