A traditional favorite dish that is easy to make and incredibly delicious. It is a dish that can be found in every Greek household, as it is enjoyed by the whole family. With tomatoes, garlic, and orzo pasta sprinkled with myzithra cheese, the meal becomes a true delight. Let's get started!
Ingredients:
- 1.5 kg lamb leg, cut into pieces
- 2 onions, finely chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, sliced (for the sauce)
- 6 cloves of garlic, quartered (to be inserted into the lamb)
- 80 g red wine
- 500 g ripe tomatoes, crushed or blended
- Salt, pepper, and 5-6 whole allspice berries
- 1 cup olive oil
- 750 g orzo pasta
- 1 lemon
- Myzithra cheese for serving
Directions
- In a deep pot, saute the chopped onions and sliced garlic. Deglaze with red wine and add the tomatoes, allspice berries, salt, and pepper. Allow it to simmer for ten minutes. While it simmers, prepare the lamb.
- Cut slits in the lamb pieces and insert the quartered garlic cloves into the slits. Season the lamb with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Preheat the oven and place the lamb in a roasting pan or casserole dish. Pour the tomato sauce over the lamb, adding 2-3 cups of water.
- Cover the roasting pan or casserole dish and roast for approximately 2.5 hours.
- 10 minutes before removing the lamb from the oven, boil the orzo pasta separately. If you prefer to cook the pasta together with the lamb, ensure there is enough liquid from the beginning. 10 minutes before removing the lamb, add the cooked orzo pasta to the roasting pan, ensuring there is enough liquid for the pasta to cook in the lamb sauce.
- Serve the dish with grated myzithra cheese on top.
