Ingredients

  • 1 lb lamb shoulder or leg, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • 1 whole lemon (zested + juiced)
  • 3 whole garlic cloves, minced
  • 1.5 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 whole beefsteak tomato, cut into thick rounds
  • 1 whole green bell pepper, cut into 2-inch squares
  • 1.5 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. 1

    Toss lamb cubes with yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let sit 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a large sheet pan over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  3. 3

    Spread marinated lamb across the hot pan in a single layer. Don't stir — sear 3 minutes until edges brown.

  4. 4

    Toss lamb, then scatter tomato rounds and pepper squares around it. Drizzle everything with olive oil.

  5. 5

    Roast at 475°F for 8–10 minutes until lamb is cooked through and vegetables are charred and tender.

  6. 6

    Warm rice, then divide among plates. Top with lamb and charred vegetables. Squeeze fresh lemon over all.
