Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Cut the meat into large cubes and brown them in oil in a large casserole, then remove them.
  2. Sauté the sliced onions and garlic in the same casserole until translucent.
  3. Add the tomato paste and paprika, then return the meat with the hot stock.
  4. Layer the potatoes, carrots, peppers, zucchini and tomatoes cut into rounds, salting between each layer.
  5. Cover and bake for 90 minutes, until the meat is fall-apart tender and the vegetables are soft.
  6. Check the seasoning and serve straight from the casserole.

Variations and tips

Family version. Replace the lamb with chicken for a lighter, quicker dish.
