Greek Lamb Stew

12 ingredients Serves 8 openrecipes

This rich stew has all the flavours of the Mediterranean. Garlic, wine, rosemary, olives. It is made using a shoulder of lamb, the best cut for slow cooking as the meat becomes meltingly tender. Adding small pasta shapes near the end adds body and soaks up the juices“ and is very Greek. A great and impressive make ahead dinner party dish. A real winner!
