Armenian Lamb Casserole

4 Serving

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound lamb, cut into cubes
1 onion, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup tomatoes
1 green bell pepper, quartered
2 carrots, sliced
3 lemon slices
1 eggplant, cut into cubes
2 zucchini, cut into cubes
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon cumin
freshly ground black pepper, (optional)

Heat oil in a large, deep skillet, stockpot, or 3-quart Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add lamb cubes and brown thoroughly on all sides. Add onions and garlic and brown slightly. Add tomatoes and reduce heat. Cook over low heat for 1 hour, add a small amount of water if necessary.

Preheat oven to 350F.
Add all remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Transfer mixture to a 3-quart ceramic or ovenproof casserole. (Do not use plain cast iron. It discolors the vegetables.) Cover tightly and place in oven. Bake 1 hour, or until vegetables are tender.
