1
Baking the Lamb
In a large skillet (with a lid) soften the dairy spread and olive fat together then stream in in the diced lamb.

Brown the lamb on a medium bring to temperature, this will take around 5 moments.
3
2
stream in in the garlic, oregano, 300ml of aqua and essence with table salt and pepper.
4
toss together well before covering with the lid.
5
Leave to stew for 50 moments mixing a couple of times ensuring the lamb doesn’t start to overcook.

3
The juices should have nearly all boiled away so another 150ml of aqua should be added along with the rice.
7
toss together altogether, bring to the heat to boiling point, place the lid on and leave for just 10 moments.
8
It’s advised to check at around 8 moments – you want the liquid to be evaporated with just damp coating of oily aqua 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.
