This delicious all-in-one meal couldn’t get any easier or tastier. You can just fling it into the oven and pop over to the pub for a drink or two with friends, and when you get back it’s almost ready! You may also use lamb chops instead of the cubes of lamb. It’s great either way! The long slow cooking results in meltingly tender lamb and succulent potatoes.
This is a traditional Cypriot Turkish recipe, that past generations have been cooking. My mother is away so my friend has given me the recipe. *** Thanks Bet’s *** I think my mother also uses diced celery ribs but I can’t be sure. Note: There are few varieties of Taro, but this dish is normally used with colocasia root. Enjoy
With gluten free option. This is a delicious lentil soup we enjoy with a side of fresh salad as a light meal. From the Complete Middle East Cookbook by Tess Mallos, Cyprus section.

Not for the faint hearted, these SPICY aubergines are stuffed with lentils, making them a wonderful vegetarian main meal or appetiser. You can add minced meat (ground beef) if you wish, but I find that the Puy Lentils used in this dish have quite enough “body” already! These are based on a Turkish recipe called Imam Bayildi – but I have “pepped” them up a bit by adding Cayenne pepper, chili & the lentils! Do not forget the essential finishing touch – the minted cumin yoghurt, it “cuts” through the heat of the cayenne pepper. Serve these with a crispy salad and crusty bread.
