Add lamb mince and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring, until browned. Add lamb spice mix, garlic and carrot to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
  4. Add water and cook a further 3 minutes, until mixture has thickened. Add courgette and peas and cook for 2-3 minutes, until just tender. Stir through lemon juice and season to taste.
