butterfly lamb and cut into 200g portions, marinate in a blend of 3 cloves of garlic (crushed), tomato paste chopped parsley, 100ml of olive oil& pepper and set aside covered in fridge for 24 hours.

Cut & score tomatoes,drop into boiling water until skin starts to come away from the flesh.take toms out and place into iced water to cool ASAP. Toms are now ready to peel, slice in half and squeeze out all seeds ready to make the base sauce. Peel & slice onions, shave 4 cloves of garlic & chop chillies. Heat a heavy based pot, add a generaous amount of olive oil, add onions, chilli, garlic and sweat till soft and golden then add sugar & vinegar and reduce, aqdd peeled toms and a little water season and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours stirring occasionally.

Capsicums need to be roasted in the oven on a high heat until blistered so as to remove the skins. Once the capsicums have been roasted place in a bowl and cover with cling wrap to steam. This makes peeling easy when cool, then peel , slice and add to tomatoe sauce.

peel eggplants season and fry in lots of oil. then set aside. Boil potatoes until soft then fry these and set aside.

Garlic yogurt can be made by adding 2 cloves grated into yogurt, seasoning and lemon juice. aNY bean can be used in this dish. The beans need to be cooled in boiling salted water (Podded)
