Notes
Ingredients
Drizzle light olive oil
1 red onion, sliced
1 aubergine, sliced and quartered
1 green pepper, sliced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
400g chopped tomatoes
6 olives, halved
2 tsp. capers
2 tsp. chopped rosemary
1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
2 lamb leg steaks
Method
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the onion for 5 minutes until starting to soften. Add the aubergine and cook, stirring regularly, for a further 5 minutes until soft. Add the pepper and two of garlic cloves and cook for a few minutes, before adding the chopped tomatoes, olives, capers, half the rosemary, balsamic vinegar and season well. Bring the boil, then simmer for 15 minutes, stirring regularly. Add a little water if the caponata gets a little dry.
For the lamb, combine the remaining garlic and rosemary, and rub over the lamb steaks. Season well.
Heat a small frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil, and cook the lamb steaks for a few minutes on each side.
Serve the lamb on top of the caponata, with some crusty bread on the side, if you fancy.
