Add tomatoes and stock and bring to the boil. Return lamb to pan. Bake in oven, covered, for 1 hour 15 minutes or until lamb is almost tender. Add beans and capsicum and bake, covered, for 30 minutes or until lamb is tender. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with extra rosemary and serve.

Notes

SERVING SUGGESTION: Steamed green beans and sliced zucchini. TIPS: You can substitute the canned borlotti beans with 1½ cups (255g) cooked borlotti beans. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat braised lamb in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stovetop, adding a little extra water if sauce is too thick.
