Ingredients

Servings
  • ½ onion large or 1 small
  • 10 oz eggplant 275g aubergine
  • 4 tablespoon olive oil divided
  • 1 clove garlic large
  • 6 oz lamb 170g, trimmed and diced small, leftover, roast
  • 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh
  • 1 tablespoon mint chopped, fresh
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder or dark chocolate chips, optional
  • 1 teaspoon oregano dried
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 ½ cups tomato 360ml, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoon green olives roughly chopped (or use slices, pitted

Instructions

  1. Dice the onion and eggplant into relatively small dice.
  2. Warm half the oil in a medium skillet/frying pan and add the onion and eggplant. Cook, stirring regularly, until they are both softening. Add a little more oil at a time as needed to avoid sticking (you just don't want all at once or just a few pieces of eggplant will absorb it all).
  3. Once the eggplant and onion are soft, finely chop the garlic and add to the pan. Stir and cook for a couple minutes. Add the leftover lamb and cook a minute, stirring regularly, until it browns.
  4. Add the remaining ingredients to the pan (parsley, mint, chocolate/cocoa if using, oregano, cinnamon, tomatoes and olives). Mix well, bring to a simmer and cook over a low heat for around 10 minutes to bring the flavors together. Serve over pasta of your choice (recommend eg penne, farfalle).
