Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, ~3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add garlic and curry powder, stir constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant—don't let it burn.

  3. Step 3

    Add ground lamb, break it up with a spoon, and cook until browned with no pink, ~5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in the canned tomatoes with their juice. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens.

  5. Step 5

    Slice the top off each bread roll and scoop out the interior, leaving a 1/2-inch shell.

  6. Step 6

    Spoon the curry into each hollowed roll. Serve hot with the scooped bread on the side for dipping.
