1>. In a stove-top Dutch oven brown the boneless lamb shoulder in the olive
|
oil. Salt and pepper to taste. 2>. Add enough stock to come halfway up the
|
side of the meat and simmer, covered, until very tender, about two hours.
|
3>. Remove the meat from the pot and set aside, covered, to keep warm.
|
Remove the fat from the stock in the pan and add more stock if necessary to
|
make up four cups. Remove the stock from the pan and set aside. 4>. Heat
|
the Dutch oven again and add half cup olive oil. Add the orzo paste and
|
toss for a minute. Add the chopped onion and sautee until the onion is
|
clear. Stir in the tomatoes, dillweed and parsley. 5>. Return the meat to
|
the pot along with the 4 cups of stock. Cover and simmer until the broth is
|
absorbed and the pasta is tender, about 30 minutes. NOTE: if the dish is
|
toowet when the pasta is tender continue to cook for a few more minutes
|
with the lid off to reduce the sauce.
