Ingredients

  • 550 g lamb cubes
  • 500 ml boiling water
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion
  • 2 red peppers
  • 5 potatoes
  • 2 aubergines
  • 3 tomatoes
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tbsp sun-dried tomato paste
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cumin

Instructions

  • Chop the aubergines into  cubes of around an inch in size (a similar size to the lamb cubes) and leave them in salt water for 10 minutes. Whilst waiting, chop the onion, potatoes, tomatoes and peppers into cubes too.
  • Grease a large pot (I used cast iron) and pour the lamb cubes inside. Add half the aubergine, half the tomato, half the onion and half the potato, separating the vegetables in layers. Then add the rest of the aubergine, potato, tomato and pepper on top in layers again. Place the sun-dried tomato paste on top, add the salt, black pepper, cumin and red pepper flakes and pour the water in. 
  • Close the lid of the pot and cook for 40-50 minutes on low heat. Sprinkle with fresh chives on top to serve. Enjoy!
