Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 small eggplants (sliced)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 pounds lamb (cut in 1-inch cubes)
  • 2 yellow onions, sliced
  • 1/2 pounds green string beans (cut in half)
  • 3 small zucchini (or 2 medium zucchini, sliced thick)
  • 4 medium tomatoes (peeled and quartered)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Sprinkle the eggplant slices with 1 tsp salt and let sit 20 minutes; rinse thoroughly and drain. (This step releases some of the bitter juices from the eggplant.)

  • Step 2: In a flameproof casserole or ovenproof large skillet, saute the lamb in butter until browned on all sides.

  • Step 3: Add onions and saute 2 more minutes.

  • Step 4: Toss together the beans through tomatoes with remaining 1 tsp salt plus pepper to taste and arrange atop the meat and eggplant.

  • Step 5: Add water to almost cover the vegetables, sprinkle with paprika and bring to a boil over moderate heat.

  • Step 6: Transfer to a preheated 350F oven and bake 50-60 minutes until lamb is tender.

  • Step 7: Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
