He was a sweet, quiet kind of a guy, with a twinkle in his eyes,he could rebuild an engine, repair the plumbing, even wire a house and dad could cook! Mom would make a fuss though when he was done cooking, as the kitchen was a bit messy to say the least.This meal was delicious, but I don't have his written recipe for it. The kitchen smelled great. This simmered a while and it had tomatoes, onions and garlic in it. My thoughts about this produced the following recipe.

prep time 30 Min
cook time 2 Hr
method Stove Top
yield about six or eight

Ingredients

  • 1 medium lamb shoulder, or lamb for stew cut into chunks, dredged in flour
  • 1 large can of chopped tomatoes in juice
  • 1 large onion,sweet, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • dash black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup red wine, if desired
  • 1/2 cup flour seasoned with salt and pepper

How To Make lamb "dad's in the kitchen again"

  • Step 1
    Using a Dutch Oven, heat the oil and add the chunks of lamb that are dredged in flour. Brown and stir in the onions and garlic, and continue browning those.
  • Step 2
    Add the tomatoes and wine and cover, bring to a boil, add more liquid as it evaporates, using either water or tomatoe juice. Let this cook at a low temperature, braising the meat. There should be liquid but it's not supposed to be a soup.
  • Step 3
    As you would cook a stew, perhaps an hour and a half or possibly two hours of simmering will do. When done taste for seasonings, add more salt and or pepper to taste.
  • Step 4
    This was served on spaghetti, and it was so delicious. A good salad and crusty bread with it, and you would be very satisfied.
