How to make
Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a deep pot on the stove. Add the chopped onion and fry for about 5 minutes, until it softens.
Add the finely chopped garlic, the cinnamon stick and the bay leaves. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the lamb neck pieces and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until they change their colour.
Add the tomatoes, broth and red wine. The liquid should almost cover the necks.
Reduce to low heat, cover them with a lid and cook for about 2 - 2.5 hours, until the meat starts to fall off the bone. When ready, remove the stewed lamb, remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaves and add the orzo noodles.
Add more broth, if needed.
Cook the pasta, until it's done and season with salt and black pepper, if needed (the vegetable broth usually contains salt) and place the lamb back into the pot.
The Greek-Style Lamb Neck with Orzo is very tasty.
