Lamb Tian

This Mediterranean-style baked lamb dish layers tender cubes of lamb shoulder with sliced eggplants, zucchinis, and ripe tomatoes for a rustic, flavourful meal. Generously seasoned with thyme, salt, and pepper, the vegetables are drizzled with olive oil and slow-roasted at 150°C for 1 hour and 30 minutes until perfectly soft and aromatic. Ideal for preparing ahead and reheating on the day of serving, it’s a hearty and wholesome recipe.
