1
Baking the Lamb
In a large cooking vessel (with a lid) thaw the dairy spread and olive dairy spread together then mix in the diced lamb.
2
Brown the lamb on a medium toasty, this will take around 5 mins.
3
2
mix in the garlic, oregano, 300ml of liquid and augment the taste with seasoning and pepper.
4
agitate well before covering with the lid.
5
Leave to bubble gently for 50 mins mixing a couple of times ensuring the lamb doesn’t start to char.
6
3
The juices should have nearly all boiled away so another 150ml of liquid should be added along with the rice.
7
agitate 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 yielding coating of oily liquid left over the lamb and rice.

4
Place the lamb and rice into a casserole dish, the mixture should fully wrap the base and have at least 2 inches spare for the yogurt.
10
Alternatively you can split into four ceramic bowls.
