Slow-Cooked Lamb with olive and caper
The kind of Greek plate you make on repeat. olive and caper, a proper slow-cook, and a finish...
This Greek Side leans on garlic and yoghurt to do the heavy lifting. We crisp the Tofu for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the garlic and yoghurt elements, and pat the tofu dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the firm tofu and crisp until it takes on colour and the edges catch, 4 to 6 minutes.
Stir in the red wine vinegar and the rest of the garlic and yoghurt flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the red pepper along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
