Method
Whisk the wine with the lemon juice, berbere, paprika and mustard in a small bowl.
Season the lamb with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat the olive oil in a pan. Add the lamb in batches over a medium heat until browned all over. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the lamb to a casserole. Repeat with the remaining lamb.
Add the chopped onions, garlic, rosemary and thyme. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bring to the boil and cook over a gentle heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened, about 8 minutes.
Add the lamb and any accumulated juices to the casserole along with the wine mixture, diced tomatoes, pepper, and shallot. Cook over a medium heat, stirring, until the pepper and tomatoes have softened and the lamb is just cooked through, about 30-40 minutes. Taste and correct the seasoning.
Serve with Injera or another flatbread, pitta, or naan. Alternatively, serve with rice or potatoes.
