• Add tomatoes, bay leaves, rosemary and the contents of the Dutch oven to roasting pan with the lamb. Cover it tight and roast until tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
• For the ouzi rice: Meanwhile, add ground beef to a hot pot and cook, stirring and mashing constantly, until cooked, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Place oil and onions in same pot and cook until tender. Add the rice and stir all together, then add the ground beef, salt, allspice, cinnamon, pepper and 4 1/2 cups water. Cover and cook on really low heat for 40 minutes.
