Lamb Stew with Eggplant, Tomatoes, and Mint

Do you like lamb? Then you will definitely like this recipe! When I discovered the “lamb and eggplant” combination, I simply fell in love! But thatʼs not all — the recipe uses another wonderful combination — lamb and mint. I read somewhere that lamb + mint is a classic, like apples + cinnamon. I really wanted to try it, especially since I had some dried mint left over from the summer! It turned out simply amazingly delicious! This is definitely worth a try, especially since it’s not at all difficult to prepare...
