In the same pot, add sliced onions and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Don't burn the garlic. - 4
Add the chopped eggplants, bell peppers, and zucchini to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften.

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the chopped tomatoes, lamb broth, oregano, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Return the seared lamb to the pot. Stir everything together. Cover the pot tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Ensure the lid or foil creates a good seal to trap moisture. - 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the lamb is tender and the vegetables are cooked through. If the sauce seems too thin, you can remove the lid for the last 15 minutes of baking to allow it to reduce.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. This dish is often served with crusty bread or rice.
