Rub the mint, olive oil & Zaatar into the lamb pieces and leave to marinate for at least an hour or overnight. Seal the meat in a large pan. Take the meat out of the pan, but leave the oil and juices from the meat. Turn the heat down to low-med and add the onions and garlic for about 10 mins. Add carrots, butternut squash and potatoes and stir for a few minutes. Stir in the stock, chickpeas and tomatoes. Bring to boil then turn heat down very low, cover and simmer gently for about 2 hours. Serve with bread and fresh mint.
