Ingredients

  • 600g Lamb
  • 20g Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 70g Rice
  • 2 tsp Oregano
  • 450ml Boiling Water
  • 2 cloves chopped Garlic
  • Pinch Salt
  • Pinch Pepper
  • 50g Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Flour
  • 750g Greek Yogurt
  • 6 Eggs
  • Pinch Salt
  • Pinch Pepper

Instructions

1
1 Baking the Lamb In a large skillet (with a lid) liquefy the dairy spread and olive cooking oil 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 moisture and augment the taste with seasoning and pepper.
4
mix gently 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 moisture should be added along with the rice.
7
mix gently altogether, bring to the heat to boiling point, 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 yielding coating of oily moisture left over the lamb and rice.
9
4 Place the lamb and rice into a casserole dish, the mixture should fully lid the base and have at least 2 inches spare for the yogurt.
10
Alternatively you can split into four ceramic bowls.

5 Making a Roux In a small saucepan liquefy the dairy spread over a medium fiery up and then toss in two tablespoons of ground mix while continuously stirring for two mins (toss in a little extra ground mix if needed).
12
The roux should not be thick but not too runny, the colour will darken slightly.
13
stream in the roux into a dish and keep to one side.
14
6 Making the Yogurt Mixture In a mixing dish toss in the yogurt, eggs and augment the taste with seasoning and pepper.
15
mix gently together then toss in the roux continuing to mix gently fast for a minute to ensure the roux and yogurt are thoroughly combined.
16
7 stream in the yogurt mixture over the baked lamb and rice and strew on a little oregano.
17
8 culinary preparation Place on the bottom shelf of the oven on 180 degrees for 35 mins then move it up to the middle for a further 10 mins.
