Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Brown lamb in batches without stirring constantly, 4–5 minutes until edges are golden. Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Add tomato paste to the pot, stir for 1 minute until fragrant, then pour in stock and scrape up browned bits.

  4. Step 4

    Return lamb to pot with zucchini, eggplant, bell pepper, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.

  5. Step 5

    Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer covered for 12–15 minutes until vegetables are tender and lamb is cooked through.

  6. Step 6

    Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot in bowls.
