Meltingly tender lamb on a bed of onions, potatoes and garlic with preserved lemons and greek seasoning. Not a pretty dish but really wonderful to come home to on a wet cold day, the smell is just divine. A crisp green salad, or greek, a big glass of red wine, cozy slippers - nothing else needed!! Please use floury potatoes not waxy and feel free to use more lemon or less depending on your taste but it will mellow and blend I promise!

A wonderfully flavoursome and most unusual way to cook lamb; well I've never cooked it quite like this anyway! We loved the blend of citrus, garlic and Greek herb flavours and how moist and tender the lamb was. I enjoyed some of what was left in the yummiest of sandwiches (and it was just as delicious at room temperature) and I put the rest into what was one very tasty omelette. Thank you so much for sharing this super recipe. I'll certainly be making it again. Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
