Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb ground lamb
2 (14.5 oz) cans stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 stalk celery , cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 clove garlic, minced

Directions:

Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the lamb, and cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking up into crumbles, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and their juice, celery, orzo, salt, cayenne pepper, and garlic. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the orzo is tender and has absorbed the liquid from the tomatoes, about 12 minutes.
