Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Tomato paste - 2 tablespoons
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Zucchini - 2 medium, spiralized
• Chicken broth - 250 ml
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
2. Add the lamb shoulder to the pot and brown on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in the tomato paste, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to coat the lamb.
4. Pour in the chicken broth, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 60-70 minutes, or until the lamb is tender and easily pulls apart.
5. While the lamb is cooking, prepare the spiralized zucchini in a separate pan. Lightly sauté the zucchini noodles in a bit of olive oil for about 3-5 minutes until just tender.
6. Once the lamb is ready, shred it with two forks and mix it back into the sauce. Serve the lamb on top of the zucchini noodles, garnished with fresh parsley.
