Introduction

This Mediterranean vegetables with lamb dish is a vibrant and flavorful meal perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. Combining tender lamb with a colorful mix of fresh vegetables and aromatic spices, it offers a healthy and satisfying taste of the Mediterranean.

The image shows a shallow white pan filled with a colorful stew made of several layers. The bottom layer consists of a light brown sauce with a slightly oily texture. On top of this sauce, there are chunks of cooked meat that are brown and slightly browned on the edges. Mixed among the meat are large pieces of vegetables including bright red tomato chunks, yellow and green zucchini slices, and translucent cooked onion segments. There are also small sprigs of green herbs scattered all over the dish, adding a fresh look. The pan sits on a white stove, all placed on a white marbled surface.

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
250g lean lamb fillet, trimmed of any fat and thinly sliced

140g shallots, halved
2 large courgettes, cut into chunks

½ tsp each of ground cumin, paprika, and ground coriander
1 red, 1 orange, and 1 green pepper, cut into chunks

1 garlic clove, sliced
150ml vegetable stock
250g cherry tomatoes

Handful coriander leaves, roughly chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-based frying pan over high heat. Add the lamb and shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden.
Step 2: Add the courgettes and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 3: Sprinkle in the ground cumin, paprika, and ground coriander, tossing everything well to coat the ingredients.
Step 4: Add the red, orange, and green peppers along with the sliced garlic. Reduce the heat to moderate and cook for 4-5 minutes until the peppers start to soften.
Step 5: Pour in the vegetable stock and stir to coat all the ingredients. Add the cherry tomatoes and season to taste.

Step 6: Cover the pan with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
Step 7: Stir through the chopped coriander leaves just before serving to add a fresh finish.

Tips & Variations

For extra depth, marinate the lamb slices in a little lemon juice and garlic before cooking.

Swap lamb for chicken or firm tofu for a different protein option.
Add a pinch of chili flakes to bring some heat to the dish.
Serve with couscous or warm flatbread to soak up the delicious juices.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan over low heat or in the microwave until warmed through. This dish does not freeze well, as the vegetables may become mushy.
