Cinnamon-scented lamb with eggplant

Cinnamon-scented lamb with eggplant

Cinnamon-scented lamb with eggplant

A wonderfully harmonious recipe from that ever-reliable master of flavour, Neil Perry, combining the sweetness of slow-braised lamb shoulder with aromatic spices, meltingly soft roast eggplant, fresh mint and tangy, sweet-sour, vinegar-soaked raisins. Pile it into bowls midweek with a side of mash, or make it the centrepiece of a weekend dinner party, with cous cous and the full Middle-Eastern leaning spread. 

To Serve

This dish can go so many ways. Treat it as a family-style casserole and serve with buttered mash and a salad, green beans or big pile of garlicky spinach or kale. Or dress it up with a bed of cous cous stirred through with almonds, preserved lemon and spring onions. Slivered green pistachios finish the dish nicely.

 

Ingredients

Lamb (33%), eggplant (30%), crushed tomatoes (tomato puree, citric acid), onion, chicken stock (water, free range chicken bones, onion, carrot, celery, garlic, bay leaves, parsley, black pepper), raisins, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, mint, cinnamon, salt, parsley, coriander ground, cumin ground, red wine vinegar (sulphites), turmeric

    Tasty and easy

    This was a delicious meal, and really quick and easy to prepare. We had it with rice, steamed veg and flat breads. Yum

    This was mine and my husbands favourite from the dishes we ordered! The lamb is so tender and full of flavour, and the eggplant makes for a lovely addition. We served it with pearl Cous Cous and it was a hit!

    Delicious winter dish

    Cinnamon-scented lamb with eggplant was a triumph! Tender lamb and succulent eggplant.

    I served it with Greek yoghurt and garlicky spinach and my three guests LOVED it.
