Step 1 of 8
Croatian Lamb Peka
Preheat the oven to 200°C fan / 220°C / 425°F. If the lamb is not already diced, cut it into large chunks.
Step 2
Make the marinade: whisk together the 80ml olive oil, garlic purée, sundried tomato purée and black pepper in a bowl.
Step 3
Add all the prepared vegetables (potatoes, zucchini, carrots, pepper, eggplant and onion) to a large lidded casserole dish.
Step 4
Place the diced lamb on top of the vegetables. Pour the marinade and white wine evenly over everything.
Step 5
Lay the rosemary, thyme and sage over the lamb, keeping the herb stalks on the surface so they can be easily lifted out after cooking.
Step 6
Cover tightly with the lid (or seal well with foil) and bake for 1 hour 30 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the lid, discard any thick herb stems, and stir in the extra 2 tbsp olive oil. Return to the oven uncovered for 20–30 minutes until lightly browned.
Step 8
Serve straight from the dish with crusty bread to soak up the juices.
