Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Layer up half the potato, tomato and aubergine in a baking dish, scattering with garlic, oregano and olives, and drizzling with oil and seasoning as you go.
  2. Scatter over the feta, then repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used up. Finish with potatoes and a little oil.
  3. Bake for 50 mins or until the veg are tender (cover with foil if they're getting too brown). Top with the lamb steaks, rubbing with a little more oil and seasoning. Bake for 15-20 mins more until the lamb is cooked. Allow to rest and cool a bit before scattering with oregano and serving with crusty bread.

    This was absolutely lovely. A really hearty meal for a cold & blustery day and the lamb was so tender. Loses one star because it's impossible to tell if the potato at the bottom is cooked without taking it all apart. Mine weren't quite done, but I just skimmed off the bottom layer when serving. It wasn't a prob.

    I made this last week for dinner. Full of flavour as the lamb juice runs down through the vegetables as well. I took the left over vegies from the dish for lunch the next day ... great even without the lamb. The only difference I had was that I couldn't find aubergine (egg plant) so I used courgette (zuchinni). Oh, and the crusty bread is VERY necessary to mop up all that beautiful juice at the bottom of the dish.

    This is an absolutey gorgeous recipe, could be served without the lamb as an side dish or veggie meal. I would also use courgette aswell in there next time, just because I love courgettes.

    Yum, yum! I was slightly concerned that this dish would be a little dry as it had no sauce. How wrong could I be? I cooked the vegetables for at least 1 and half hours on moderate heat, before adding the lamb. I used courgette as well as aubergine. The juices of the meat mingled fabulously with the veg and the feta. Absolutely gorgeous. I served this with the crispy Greek pie. Wow. xx

    Delicous, and so easy to make! I chucked in a packet of antipasti (feta, sundried tomatoes, olives) which worked well. Can't go wrong with a good traybake:)

    I couldn't believe how much juice was there at the bottom of the baking tray! Absolutely delicious and really easy to make... Will definitely make this again, but maybe without olives, as I didn't think they were needed

    We really enjoyed this recipe, so easy, especially if you use a mandolin to slice everything! After cooking the veg they looked a bit dry but cooking the lamb on top really sorted that out. I thought the olives really made it so personally wouldn't leave them out.

    This dish was simply bursting with flavour. I put the potatoes, aubergines and garlic into the oven first for about half an hour and then added the tomatoes, olives and feta for about 20 mins before adding the lamb. I used chunky lamb chops, rubbed them with olive oil, salt, pepper and some lamb seasoning and then placed them over the nearly-cooked vegetables. Didn't have fresh oregano so used dried. It was beautiful. The flavours came together perfectly, the lamb was juicy and my guests couldn't get enough!

    Absolutely beautiful dish! Clean plates and we were both in silence as we ate, it was so tasty! Definitely worth trying if you like the 'Greek' flavours.

    Really love this recipe but my lamb always takes much longer to cook than the recipe says - even for pink lamb which my kids just won't tolerate. I reckon I cook it for at least 30 mins - what am I doing wrong?

    I've made this dish twice, both times it has been delicious and my guest have eaten every last morsel. A very tasty & low-maintenance meal, ideal to cook for a small group.
