Lamb Kavurma

(Kuzu Kavurma)

Lamb Kavurma
1 kg Boneless Lamb Stew Chunks
4 cups warm water
1 medium sized onion, sliced
Salt
Pepper

Garnish:
1 tsp oregano

In a large pot place lamb and warm water. Cook on medium high to get water the water boiling. After 10 minutes, remove the foam from the surface with a wooden spoon.

Then add the onion, salt and pepper. After 15 minutes lower the heat. Simmer until most of the water evaporates. This will take approximately 5 to 6 hours. When the water level is at the top of the meat level, turn the heat up to medium. When the water evaporates, stir constantly for 4-5 minutes to prevent the lamb from sticking. Be careful not to over-cook.

Sprinkle some dry oregano on top and serve immediately with Shepherd's Salad and with Pilaf with Sweet Peas, Pilaf with Orzo or Pilaf with Almonds.

Hi Binnur,

I posted you a comment before about the peppers that my friends babbanne was making.

When i was there she was also making a lamb or beef thing, but im unsure what it was called. It was like a round ball of lamb and it had vegetables around it. It was baked in the over and smelt amazing. I was wondering if you had any idea of what it is called?

Teşekkürler Sam
