Lamb Tsigariasto (Cretan Style)
A hearty, slow-cooked lamb stew from Crete with simple seasoning and rich flavor.
Ingredients
- 2.5 kg lamb (with some fat) cut into chunks (Cretan lamb, if you find)
- ½ glass olive oil extra virgin
- 2 medium onions finely chopped
- 1 glass water
- 1 tbsp pinch of salt
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a deep pot, put the olive oil and warm it gently.
- Add the onion and cook until it becomes transparent.
- Add the lamb, then add the salt and the pepper.
- Add the water, cover the pot, and let it simmer for one to one and a half hours, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- When the meat is tender and slips away from the bone and the sauce has reduced, remove from the heat and serve.
- It's a good idea to accompany the lamb with Cretan pilaf and yogurt or boiled wild greens.
