Lamb stewed with eggplant and tomatoes

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Required ingredients. Vegetables and meat must be washed

2. STEP 2

   

   I used basil as spices - it goes well with eggplants and mint, which complements lamb

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the lamb into arbitrary pieces

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the onion into quarter rings

5. STEP 5

   

   In a frying pan with heated vegetable oil, fry the lamb for 10 minutes over high heat.

6. STEP 6

   

   Then add the onion and continue to fry for another 10 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Meanwhile, cut the eggplants as desired - I cut them into cubes. If the eggplants are bitter, they need to be cut in advance, salted well and left for half an hour so that all the bitterness drains away. My eggplants were not bitter

8. STEP 8

   

   Add the eggplants to the pan with the lamb and onions

9. STEP 9

   

   Reduce heat and simmer over low heat, covered, for 20 minutes.

10. STEP 10

    

    You can add some liquid halfway through the process.

11. STEP 11

    

    In the meantime, cut the tomatoes into cubes

12. STEP 12

    

    Crush the garlic with the flat side of a knife and chop finely. Let's leave it aside for now - we'll need it at the end of cooking.

13. STEP 13

    

    Add tomatoes to meat and eggplants

14. STEP 14

    

    Add spices and salt. Simmer covered for another 20-30 minutes until the meat is cooked. That's it - active participation is over, enjoy the amazing aroma and wait!

15. STEP 15

    

    5 minutes before readiness add garlic

16. STEP 16

    

    After 5 minutes turn off

17. STEP 17

    

    Lamb with eggplant and tomatoes is ready! The aroma is simply magnificent!

18. STEP 18

    

    Place on a plate, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve as a side dish with potatoes or rice. It's not the season for fresh greens, but this dish would pair well with purple basil or cilantro! Bon appetit!

nasstin, thank you for the recipe with lamb, I was always afraid to mess with it, because I don’t like its scent and that’s it! This recipe uses mint, it probably cancels out the smell of lamb and the taste becomes great, I really want to try to cook it, or if I still don’t risk it, I’ll recommend the recipe to my friends who are cold and therefore constantly cook lamb. <br />

Nastyushka, I’m afraid to cook lamb. But you are smart! If you didn’t smell it, then you cooked it correctly! Well, I don’t doubt that for a second!
