Ingredients

1 large aubergine, cut into large cubes
5 tomatoes, quartered
2 red peppers, cut into large cubes
2 large courgettes, cut into large cubes
1 onion, cut into wedges
2 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp sultanas
4 tbsp green olives
50g anchovies in oil, drained and chopped
2 tbsp wine vinegar
1 tsp soft brown sugar
4 lamb leg steaks
4 tbsp roughly chopped fresh parsley

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Put the vegetables in a roasting tin, toss well with the olive oil to coat, season and cook in the oven for 30 minutes.
Stir in the sultanas, olives, anchovies, vinegar and sugar, then return to the oven for a further 10-15 minutes and cook until the vegetables are tender and golden.
Meanwhile, grill or griddle the lamb leg steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Stir the parsley into the caponata and serve with the lamb and crusty bread for mopping up the juices.
