Ingredients:
- 4 -5 romaine lettuce , lettuces leaves separated and washed , cut crosswise into 2-inch thick pieces (swiss chard can also be used in place of lettuce)
- 2 eggs
Directions:
- In a large Dutch Oven, heat the olive oil till smoking and in it brown the pieces of lamb (you may have to do this in 2-3 batches) until golden-brown all over.
- When all the pieces are browned add onion, garlic, water and wine (you could use just water if you wanted to) and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, or until meat is very tender.
- Add lettuce and dill. You may have to cram it into the pot but it will reduce to practically nothing. Put the lid on the Dutch Oven and cook for 8 minutes. Remove lid, stir carefully not to break up meat and cook another 2 minutes. Turn off heat.
- In a large, heatproof bowl, whisk together eggs, cornstarch and lemon juice.
- With a ladle, remove ladlefuls of the cooking liquid the meat and lettuce have cooked in and VERY slowly whisk it into the egg/lemon mixture. Keep doing this until, whisking all the while, until you have incorporated most of your cooking liquid - this tempers the egg-lemon sauce so it won't curdle when added to your lamb.
- Pour all the sauce into the pot, covering the lamb and lettuce. Turn heat up to medium-high and just bring to the boil. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Dinner is ready. Have lots of crusty bread around to sop up the delicious avgolemono sauce.
