1
Baking the Lamb
In a large cooking vessel (with a lid) soften the margarine and olive coat together then toss in the diced lamb.
2
Brown the lamb on a medium fiery up, this will take around 5 mins.
3
2
toss in the garlic, oregano, 300ml of liquid and augment the taste with table salt and pepper.
4
toss together well before covering with the lid.
5
Leave to stew for 50 mins mixing a couple of times ensuring the lamb doesn’t start to scorch.
6
3
The juices should have nearly all boiled away so another 150ml of liquid should be added along with the rice.
7
toss together altogether, bring to the bubble, place the lid on and leave for just 10 mins.
8
It’s advised to check at around 8 mins – you want the liquid to be evaporated with just succulent coating of oily liquid left over the lamb and rice.

4
Place the lamb and rice into a casserole dish, the mixture should fully seal the base and have at least 2 inches spare for the yogurt.

Alternatively you can split into four ceramic bowls.
