Arni youvetsi: greek lamb stew
Ragout and stew
My husband adores lamb and Greek food, so I wanted to make a very comforting homemade stew for him on his birthday. I saw a beautiful photo of Arni Youvetsi in Tessa Kiros' gorgeous book entitled "Falling Cloudberries" and got the idea to make that dish- with my own recipe. You can braise the lamb shanks any which way you like- this is my way. They should be tender, but not too tender, remember that the cooked lamb shank meat will be baked later in the casserole with orzo, so you don't want it to turn to mush. We had this with a Domaine de Cristia, Chateauneuf-du-Pape Renaissance, 2004.
