Thanks to all of you - that makes a lot more sense now - many thanks!!!

Any Ideas 
I want to cook it friday and dont want to make a mistake

Dear Hippytea,

thank you for your response.
Yes, I know, there are a lot of receipes also with chopped meat, but the receipe from jamie and the ones I made before, were made with minced meat. Normally I fry it in a pan until it is crumbly.
The receipe from Jamie is not made in the oven, just 1 hour cooking in the pan. First you roast the vegetables and then put tomatos, chickpeas and spice in it an then comes the minced meat and then cook it for an hour. I can not imagine, that this is right. Sorry for bad english, I´m from Germany.

Thank you very much for your help
I think I will fry the meat.
On the right side of the recipe is an illustration, where you can see all the steps and there you can see, that he puts the meat very late in, after frying the vegetables and after he puts in the chopped tomatos. And because of this, I am very sure, that he does not frying the minced meat.

Maybe, if Jamie is around here, he can say something to this. Its is not important to do this before the weekend, I just wanted to know the reason someday. 

Hello Jamie,

on holidays in Italy we had a very very good main course:
It was braised lamb with a sauce of chestnuthoney und pink pepper kernels. It was really great! But they did n`t served a side order.

Now I want to cook this wunderful meal at Christmas, but I haven`t any idea what I shall give as side order / garnish. Something with sweet chestnuts and poatatoes or hokkaido (pumpkin)? I would be really glad about getting an idea from You.

Thank`s a lot!
Bettina
