Mediterranean Lamb Stew

You will love this one-pot Mediterranean Lamb Stew. It is a homely and comforting meal, full of the sunny flavours of the Mediterranean. For this recipe I use cubed boneless lamb shoulder with fragrant herbs, tomatoes, red peppers, eggplant and olives. Cooked slowly and gently, the lamb develops a rich flavour and becomes meltingly tender. It is certain to become a regular on your meal plan.

Ingredients:
For the Lamb Stew
  • 1 kg (2.2 lbs) stewing lamb – we use shoulder cut in 3 cm (1 inch cubes)
  • 1 teaspoon coarse cooking sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper – freshly ground
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large brown/yellow onion – cut into small cubes
  • 4 cloves garlic – roughly chopped
  • 800 g (28 oz) tinned crushed tomatoes
  • 250 ml (1 cup) chicken stock
  • 125 ml (½ cup) dry red wine – I use Shiraz
  • 2 teaspoon fresh rosemary – finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon chilli flakes – optional
  • 2 large red capsicum/bell peppers – cut into 3 cm (1 inch) pieces
  • 1 medium eggplant/aubergine – cut into 2 cm (¾ inch) cubes
  • 90 g (½ cup) Sicilian green olives – pitted
  • 70 g (2 cups) baby spinach – firmly packed
  • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley – roughly chopped
  • sea salt and black pepper – to taste

For the Topping
  • 200 g (7 oz) Greek feta cheese – crumbled
