Time 2h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 kg lamb (lean, cut into 5cm pieces)
2 onions, finely sliced
3 eggplants, cut into 4cm dice
5 tomatoes, roughly chopped (or 1 can of tomatoes in juice)
2 large red peppers, cut into strips
2 tablespoons chopped coriander
2 tablespoons chopped mint
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 lemon, zest of

Steps:

  • Place oil in a pan with all of the spices and tomato paste, and heat for 2-3 minutes until an aroma starts to develop.
  • Place the meat in a casserole or oven-proof dish and pour over the hot spice mixture. Work through the meat.
  • Mix in all the other ingredients aside from the fresh herbs and lemon zest.
  • Cover tightly and bake for 2 hours at 150°C until lamb is meltingly tender.
  • Just before serving mix through lemon zest and chopped herbs. Adjust seasonings to taste.
  • Recipe easily doubles (trebles!) - cook in a covered roasting dish.
  • Substitute beef for the lamb and add other vegetables such as zucchini, mixed peppers or okra.
  • The Vegetarian Variation: Use a cup or two of cooked chickpeas instead of the meat along with your choice of vegies (but think mediterranean).

I'm allergic to eggplant, so I substituted zucchini in this recipe. It turned out great! The zucchini was perfectly roasted and added a nice sweetness to the dish.
