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.

* We don’t add preservatives or additives to our meals – we cook with the same real ingredients you would find in your home fridge and pantry. Some of these household ingredients do contain sub-ingredients, for example Dijon mustard contains sulphites and crushed tomatoes contain citric acid. We try to find products with as few additives as possible and always list every ingredient in our meals, both here and on the label.
