- Heat 60 ml olive oil in a pressure cooker and fry 4 whole garlic cloves until golden. Lift them out and set aside. 0:48
- Add the lamb pieces to the same oil, season with salt and brown them well on all sides. 1:27
- Add 2 bay leaves and the chopped green pepper. After about 3 minutes add the peppercorns and chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes more. 1:53
- Crush the fried garlic and loosen it with 150 ml white wine. Pour it over the lamb and cook for 3–4 minutes. 2:28
- Stir in 6 g smoked sweet paprika, then add just enough water to cover the meat. Taste and adjust the salt. 2:55
- Lock the lid. Once the valve starts turning, cook for about 40 minutes, then take off the heat and let all the steam out before opening. Serve the lamb with its sauce. 3:34
Tip. Serves 6 (our estimate from 1.5 kg lamb). No pressure cooker? Simmer it covered for about 1½ hours until tender. Keeps 3 days in the fridge and freezes well; serve with a green salad or greens.

Vitamin B12 High159%
3.8 µg a serve, mostly from lamb (100%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
Zinc High71%
7.8 mg a serve, mostly from lamb (98%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.
Selenium High71%
39 µg a serve, mostly from lamb (99%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.
Omega-3 High36%
0.6 g a serve, mostly from lamb (86%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
Iron Source19%
3.5 mg a serve, mostly from lamb (84%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.
Vitamin B6 Source19%
0.3 mg a serve, mostly from lamb (60%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.
Vitamin C Source18%
16 mg a serve, mostly from green Italian pepper (84%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
Vitamin E Source13%
1.9 mg a serve, mostly from olive oil (69%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.
Vitamin K Source13%
15 µg a serve, mostly from lamb (44%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.
Potassium Source11%
500 mg a serve, mostly from lamb (74%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.
Magnesium Source10%
44 mg a serve, mostly from lamb (77%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.
Folate Source10%
38 µg a serve, mostly from lamb (81%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.

Calcium4%
47 mg a serve, mostly from lamb (62%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.
Vitamin A3%
28 µg a serve, mostly from sweet smoked paprika (89%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.
Vitamin D1%
0.1 µg a serve, mostly from lamb (100%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
