Sauté the onions and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the diced aubergine and cook for another 5 minutes until slightly softened.

Stir in the potatoes and sweet red peppers, cooking for another 5 minutes.

Add chopped tomatoes and shoulder lamb meat, mixing well.

Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and chilli, stirring to combine.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and cover with foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the top to brown slightly.
