The support you guys have given me during this period has been just amazing….. family, friends, Zumba crew, thank you for all your support. Losing this final 4lbs was hard, but so worth it. It showed me that you can achieve anything in life as long as you stay focused on your dreams.

3. Add the minced lamb and continue to stir-fry for 5-6 minutes over a high heat. Add the diced pepper, freshly chopped coriander and mint, stir to mix well and remove from the heat.
4. Carefully spoon the lamb mixture into the prepared aubergine shells. Lightly spray each one with Fry Light and bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve immediately sprinkled with ground cumin.
