How To Make Greek Skillet Meal

Heat your large skillet over medium heat on the stove. Add in the oil and onions.

Cook the onions until they are soft and translucent, then stir in the garlic.

Add in your ground lamb and cook, while crumbling, until the lamb is browned and no longer pink.

Add in the zucchini and then cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the zucchini beings to soften.

Sprinkle in your salt, pepper, and Greek seasoning mix. Stir until blended.

Add in the vegetable broth and vegetable mixture and bring the liquid to a low boil.

Stir in your rice and cover the pan with a lid.

Reduce the heat and cook the rice for about 10-15 minutes or until it is fluffy and the liquid has been fully absorbed. The total amount of time taken here will depend on the rice you used, the size of your skillet, and the temperature of the water/burner. If you turn the heat down too low or didn’t have it at a good low boil before adding in the rice it can take longer to fully cook it through.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese.

Serve warm.
