Instruções
- 1.Pat the lamb cubes dry and season generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add half the olive oil. Once hot, sear the lamb for 3-4 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the lamb from the skillet and set aside.
- 2.Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet. Sauté the chopped red onion for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- 3.Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pepper starts to soften.
- 4.Add the diced zucchini and cook for another 4-5 minutes until it is tender-crisp. You want it to retain a slight bite.
- 5.Return the seared lamb to the skillet along with the halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for 2 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften slightly and release their juices.
- 6.Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the fresh lemon juice, chopped mint, and dried oregano. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately.
