Croatian lamb peka

This Croatian lamb peka brings together tender lamb shoulder and a medley of root vegetables, all slow-cooked in a lidded dish. The lamb is marinated in olive oil, garlic, and tomato puree, then baked with potatoes, courgettes, carrots, and other vegetables. White wine and herbs infuse the dish as it cooks, creating rich juices perfect for dipping with fresh bread. It's mostly hands-off, with a long covered bake followed by a quick finish to brown everything.
