measures

How to make

Cut the lamb into bite-sized pieces, roll them in a little black pepper and fry them in a suitable saucepan in the fat, until they aquire a golden color. If you use sweetbreads, pre-soak them in water with a spoonful of vinegar and remove the chives.

Add the spring onions and garlic to the fried meat and stir, until it softens.

Pour the vegetable broth - enough to cover the products, add the lamb and leave them to simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the lamb is fully cooked.

The cooking time will depend on the size of the pieces of meat, as well as the type of meat - whether it is lamb shoulder, leg or sweebreads, which cooks faster. If the liquid has evaporated, pour a little more. Add the finely chopped lettuce and spinach.

Beat the egg yolks with the lemon juice and a little salt. They should start to turn white and become slightly creamy. Then add the yogurt and to this mixture pour two ladles of the boiling broth, then return everything back into the dish.

Cook the delicious fricassee for another 5-10 minutes on a low heat, by stirring often, so that the sauce does not lump up too much, but thickens.

Serve the Greek-Style Lamb Fricassee warm with nice homemade bread and a suitable drink.

Enjoy your meal!
