Lamb can be expensive, and the long cooking time may not suit everyone’s schedules.

It is also a fairly high-calorie dish, so should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Lamb is a good source of protein, iron and vitamin B12.
Cannellini beans are rich in fiber, protein, iron, potassium, and other essential nutrients.
