• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 10 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 large tomatoes, chopped

• 2 large onions, chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat, and brown the lamb on all sides. Mix in the eggplants, tomatoes, onions, green bell peppers, and garlic. Cook and stir until tender and lightly browned.

Step 2

In a small bowl, blend the tomato paste and water. Mix into the pot with the lamb. Season lamb with allspice, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat, and simmer about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the meat shreds easily with a fork. Add a little water as necessary to keep the ingredients moist.
