Recipe Description
This delicious recipe captures the great flavor of oven-roasted Lamb with Kashar Cheese in waxed paper. waxed paper keeps the moisture in, while allowing the meat and vegetables to further cook, while Kashar Cheese provides a smoked- meat like taste. If alcohol is appropriate, we recommend that you serve it with red wine or arak|raki!Ingredients
- 1½ pounds of boneless lamb, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 3 tbs butter
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 medium carrots
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 cup chopped dill or parsley
- 2 medium tomatoes, diced
- 3 tbs red wine
- 1 cup hot water
- 3 tbs margarine
- 2 medium potatoes, sliced
- 4 green bell pepper|sweet long green pepper
- ½ tsp thyme
- ¼ pound kashar cheese
- Sauté Lamb cubes in butter until light brown.
- Add onion, carrots, dill, salt (use very little salt because kashar cheese has it plenty!) and pepper. Continue to sauté 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
- In a separate saucepan sauté garlic in 1tbs butter and add tomatoes and wine, continue stirring 5 more minutes.
- Add 1 cup of hot water to all of the above. Cook it over medium heat until meat is tender.
- Remove meat and carrots, leaving the juice in saucepan.
- In a separate saucepan, melt the margarine and sauté sliced potatoes and sweet green bell pepper|green peppers.
- ix thyme, meat and carrots, potatoes and sweet green bell pepper|green peppers.
- Divide the meat and vegetables into 4 portions. Grate kashar cheese over each portion. Cut double-folded wax paper into 4 pieces of 14 inch squares. Put each portion in the middle of the paper, making sure each gets the remaining juice equally. Wrap-up each portion by going over the top once and secure the two edges by folding in twice. You should have 4 square packages.
- Wet the bottom of a baking pan large enough to fit the packages, with a couple of spoons of water.
