Lamb stew recipe

Ingredients

1kg lamb chops/meat
30-40 green onions
15-20 green garlic
2 tbs. minced green parsley
2 tbs. minced dill
1 tbs. flour
2 tbs. oil
½ glass red wine
5 tbs. tomato juice
salt

Chop the white part of onions and garlic. Soak the tails in boiling water. Only few seconds. They need to be soft, but still keep the green color. Let them cool for a while. Then knot each tail of onion and garlic like an eight. Fry them in a little bit of oil, but keep them green.

Cut the chops in pieces and make them nice and brown over a fire (with one tablespoon of oil). Add the chopped white part of verdures. Add the flour and mix quickly. Add tomato juice, wine (optional) and salt.

After it boils move it in the oven and let it boil on slow heat for an hour. When it is ready spread the minced greens over and serve it.

We eat this stew with mamaliga and garden lettuce salad.

The ingredients are for 4 portions.

Enjoy!
