- Return lamb to dish with herbs, stock and passata. Season, stir and bring to the boil. Cover and cook in oven for 1 1/2 to 1 ¾ hours or until meat is tender, skimming fat off occasionally. Stir cannellini beans through for last 10 minutes of cooking time, uncovered.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add breadcrumbs and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. Add remaining garlic, chilli and lemon zest and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towel, transfer to a bowl, add parsley, season and stir to combine.
- Serve stew sprinkled with pangrattato (crumb mixture) on top of polenta with broccoli.
