I was inspired to make this Greek inspired dish after going to the Farmer's Market and coming home with eggplant, onion, tomatoes, and squash.

Steps

1

Here are the ingredients before cooking.
2

Brown the lamb by itself. There will be a lot of fat rendered.
3

Remove the lamb from the pan and put it on a paper towel lined bowl.
4

Wipe out the pan to get rid of the fat but don't wash the pan. Add the onion and cook for three minutes over medium heat in a couple of teaspoons of olive oil.
5

Add garlic and cooked until fragrant (about 1 min). Then add cubed eggplant and squash.
6

After the squash and eggplant are browned slightly (about 5 min) add diced tomatoes and about 1/4 c water or stock. (Red wine would be good, too) And 1/2 of the fresh oregano and basil.
7

Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes over medium low heat
8

Add the ground lamb and cubed feta cheese and reduce sauce by cooking with the lid off for 5 minutes
9

Finish the dish with the other half of fresh oregano and basil, salt and pepper, a few red pepper flakes, and a drizzle of your best olive oil. You can serve it over rice or pasta or have it with a couple of slices of crusty French bread to mop up the delicious broth. Enjoy!
