Categories     Main

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 kg/35 ounces leg of lamb, boneless, cut into chunks
2 medium red onions, finely chopped
2 carrots, sliced (1 cm thick)
1 tin of chopped (tinned) tomatoes (400g / 14oz)
2 tbsps tomato paste
1 tsp sugar
1 glass of red wine
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup of olive oil
250g orzo pasta (9 ounces) ( kritharaki / manestra )
100g grated kefalotyri or feta cheese (5 ounces)

Steps:

  • To prepare this lamb giouvetsi recipe, start by cutting the lamb into chunks. Wipe the lamb with paper towels. Heat 1/2 of a cup of olive oil into a pan, add the chopped onions and carrots and sauté for 5 minutes in medium-low heat. Turn up the heat and add the lamb; brown the meat on all sides until crusty.
  • Stir in the tomato paste and pour in the red wine. Wait for the wine to evaporate. Add the tinned tomatoes, a glass of water, the nay leaf, sugar and a good pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Turn the heat down and simmer with the lid on for at least 45 minutes.
  • In the meantime into another pan heat 3 tbsps of olive oil and the orzo pasta. Sauté, until golden.
  • Place the orzo pasta along with the meat and sauce in an oven tray (remove the bay leaf) and mix with a spatula. Cover the tray with some aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven at 180C for 30 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil, add a glass of water if needed, and put back in the oven for another 15 minutes. Sprinkle with some grated hard yellow cheese (kefalotyri) and enjoy!

FRUGAL GOURMET'S GREEK LAMB WITH PASTA



Frugal Gourmet's Greek Lamb With Pasta image

Smith note: This is a tasty way to use up leftover lamb, providing you haven't over-cooked the lamb in the first place. MY NOTE: Oh yum! I'm a believer in using up every square inch of meat -- especially stuff as expensive as lamb. AND since this year was my first foray into making, serving and EATING lamb, I wanted to get my money's-worth out of the roast! I didn't make it EXACTLY as Smith directed, but we loved it just fine the way I prepped it. Cooking time includes overlapping the pasta cooking with the meat prep/stir-fry.

Time 25m

Yield 1 pot, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb fettuccine pasta (dry)
1/2 cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb lamb, medium-rare, julienned
baby carrots, cooked (leftovers)
1 sprig fresh rosemary, stripped from twig & chopped
extra olive oil to add to cooked pasta
1 cup grated kefalotyri cheese (assume Parmesan) (optional)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
salt & pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Bring pot of water to boil for pasta; cook pasta til soft.
  • Once the pasta is close to "al dente" - then heat a frying pan and saute the garlic in the oil.
  • As the pasta is finishing, add the cooked lamb to the hot garlic oil, saute for just a moment. I also added the leftover baby carrots (matchsticks) at this point.
  • Toss in the rosemary needles.
  • Drain the pasta, add a few shakes of olive oil.
  • Toss the pasta and meat mixture. Add cheese (if using, we chose to leave it out!) and parsley.
  • Serve immediately! And enjoy!
  • This would also work with beef, pork or chicken.
