Lamb Steak With Greek Tomato Sauce And Feta Recipes

Steps:

• Rub the lamb with the olive oil, oregano, and cinnamon. Marinate for 1-2 hours, and bring to room temperature before cooking.
• SAUCE:.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat.
• Sauté the onion with a pinch of salt until soft, about 8 minutes.
• Add the garlic, cinnamon, and oregano, and cook for 5 minutes.
• Add the wine, swirl it around the pan, and then add the tomato sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 8 minutes.
• Check the seasoning, and add honey if the sauce tastes acidic.
• Cover the sauce and set aside.
• LAMB:.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Place the lamb in the skillet, and cook 3-5 minutes on each side, until done to your liking.
• Remove the lamb to a warmed plate, and deglaze the pan with some additional red wine.
• Add the sauce to the skillet and simmer briefly.
• To serve, spoon the sauce over the lamb, and top with the feta and parsley.

Steps:

• Place flour in a snap-log bag, add lamb and shake to coat.
• Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan, preferably non-stick, over a medium heat, and add the onion and garlic and sauté for 2 minutes; increase the heat to medium high and add the lamb and cook, stirring, for 5-6 minutes or until browned.
• Add the stock and the wine and bring to the boil; reduce the heat to low; cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer for one hour.
• Add zucchini and cook uncovered for 10-15 minutes or until the lamb is tender and the gravy has thickened; season to taste with pepper and salt.
• Combine the mint, olives and feta and sprinkle over the stew.
• Serve with the pasta.

Steps:

• Rip the tender little leaves off the oregano sprigs and place into a bowl with the olive oil. Crumble in the feta cheese. Season, to taste, with freshly ground black pepper, then add the chopped spring onions and lemon juice and mix everything together gently, mashing some of the cheese.
• Heat a griddle pan until hot, season the lamb steaks with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and brush each steak with a little olive oil before placing on the hot griddle. Cook for a few minutes one each side, or until lightly crisp - I like mine still pink in the middle.
• Pop the pitta breads into a toaster or under the grill for a minute or two, until they are puffy and hot; carefully cut them into three pieces and place on the serving plate.
• Place the lamb steaks on top of the hot, cut pitta bread and while they are still sizzling, gently spoon over the feta and herb mash. Eat immediately, while all is hot, herbal and piquant! Serve with jacket potatos, fresh mixed salad leaves and a good glass of wine.

Steps:

• Marinate the lamb first. Put the racks into a non-metallic dish and mix the thyme, oil, lemon zest, garlic and half the oregano in a bowl. Rub this all over the lamb, then leave to marinate for at least 30 mins or up to 24 hrs. It's important that you cook the lamb from room temperature rather than fridge cold, so if you're cooking within 1 hr or so, leave it out of the fridge.
• For the sauce, finely chop the parsley stalks. Heat a large ovenproof frying pan or wide casserole, then add 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the garlic and the stalks, then soften for 1 min. Add the tomatoes and remaining oregano, then simmer for 5 mins until saucy, popping the cherry tomatoes with your wooden spoon to release all the juices and seeds. Chop the parsley leaves roughly and add half to the pan. Heat oven to 230C/fan 210C/ gas 8. Make the crust by mixing the remaining parsley leaves, feta, zest, oregano and breadcrumbs in a bowl.
• When you're ready to cook the lamb, leave most of the tasty marinade on the meat, season it well with salt and freshly ground pepper, then press the crust onto one side of each piece. Sit the racks in the sauce, with the crust-side facing upwards. Strew the thyme sprigs from the marinade over the lamb and into the sauce, then drizzle everything with a little extra virgin olive oil. Roast the lamb in the sauce, uncovered, for 20 mins (for pink and juicy meat) until the crust is golden and the sauce thickened. Leave to rest for 10 mins, loosely covered, so that the crust doesn't go soggy, then carve the lamb between each bone to make cutlets. Serve the crusted cutlets with spoonfuls of the intense, roasted-down tomato sauce, and the Easy buttered onion pilaf and Lemony greens (recipes below). Garnish with thyme.

Steps:

• Cube the neck fillet and place on the base of a 9inch square oven dish.
• Change the dish size to suit you but we normally have enough lamb to cover the base of the dish - this makes a large meal for us two!
• Salt and pepper the lamb.
• Then cube feta cheese and sprinkle over the top.
• Thinly slice the tomatoes and layer over the top so that the dish is covered.
• Sprinkle on dried herbs.
• Sprinkle over the olive oil.
• Bake in the oven for 60 to 90 mins (we normally go for 90) at Gas mark 5 or 190°C.
• Half way through the baking time take the dish out and use a baster to draw out the juices at the bottom of the dish and squirt on the top.

Steps:

• For the dough, mix the yeast, sugar and 175ml lukewarm water in a small bowl. Stir to dissolve the yeast, then set aside for 10 mins, or until the liquid starts to froth.
• Mix the flour with ½ tsp salt in a big bowl. Make a well in the centre, pour in the yeasty mixture and olive oil, and mix to a dough. Knead for 10 mins, then put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with oiled cling film. Leave somewhere quite warm until doubled in size.
• Meanwhile, make the filling. Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the mince and fry, breaking up lumps as you go, until well browned. Stir in the garlic, spices and raisins, and fry for a few more mins, then turn off the heat and stir in the lemon zest, spring onions, pine nuts and seasoning. Set aside to cool a little.
• Divide the dough into 4. Working a piece at a time, roll out on a lightly floured surface to 25 x 30cm, without the dough splitting. With a long edge of the pastry laying in front of you, spoon ¼ of the mince on the bottom half - leaving a 2cm border all round. Crumble over ¼ of the feta. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, folding in and pinching the edges to seal in the lamb. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Heat a large frying pan over a high heat and brush the gozleme all over with oil.
• Cook in batches for 3-5 mins on each side, or until golden and heated through. Quickly mix the tomato ketchup, pomegranate and onion, and serve with the hot, crispy gozleme.

Steps:

• Trim fat from lamb and cut into 1 inch cubes.
• In a shallow dutch oven, heat oil over med high heat, then brown lamb in batches and add to slow cooker.
• Drain fat from dutch oven, then add onions, garlic, rind, salt, allspice and cinnamon, frying over med heat, stirring occasionally until onions are softened (about 5 minutes).
• Sprinkle with flour - cook stirring, for 1 minute. Add beef stock & tomato paste, then bring to a boil and stir and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour into slow cooker.
• Cover and cook on low for 6 - 8 hours or on high for 4 - 5 hours, until the lamb is tender.
• Stir in artichokes, then cover and cook for 15 minutes to heat through. Serve sprinkled with feta and parsley!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat the oil in a large roasting tin on the hob. Brown the lamb steaks in the tin over a high heat, about 1 min each side.
• Add the onion to the roasting tin with the oregano. Pour over the wine and throw in the tomatoes. Scatter the olives over the top, then place the tin in the oven for 15 mins until the lamb is cooked. Scatter with flat-leaf parsley and serve with boiled new potatoes.
