The result of my alterations is excellent. The cooking time is greatly increased to tenderize the meat and create a lovely sauce.
1 pound lean lamb, cut into 3/4 inch cubes (boneless shoulder or leg of lamb can be used)
2 Tbsps. vegetable oil
2 cups chicken or other meat stock
2 eggs
1 cup plain yoghurt
1/4 tsp. salt
- Brown lamb in hot oil in a large skillet. Cook in batches to properly brown the meat, and be sure to brown it on all sides.
- Add the stock and bring to a slow simmer. Stew the meat this way, covered, for 40 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375F (originally 350).
- Remove the cover and turn up the heat to Medium-Low and let most of the liquid evaporate, so that you end up with, essentially, a reduction of the juices. It should be thick and unctuous, and about only a couple of tablespoons worth.
- Place meat in shallow, 1-quart casserole dish or individual ramekins.
- Beat together eggs, yoghurt, and salt; and pour over the meat.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until golden brown.
