In this video, I am out in the woods with my four legged companion Maggie to cook up an Easter feast of braised lamb in red wine. Sat on a grill over the campfire in my cast iron dutch oven, it cooks slowly ensuring the meat is lovely and tender, gently simmering away in a stock of red wine, garlic and rosemary. Absolutely delicious!

I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!
