CYPRIOT BAKED LAMB AND POTATOES WITH CUMIN AND TOMATOES



Cypriot Baked Lamb and Potatoes With Cumin and Tomatoes image

from "Falling Cloudberries" by Tessa Kiros In the book, the recipe description reads: "This is so simple. It's a very typical Cipriot all-in-one meal--you just need the time to prepare the lamb and vegetables, then you can fling it in the oven, go out for a (Greek) coffee, and come home to a ready meal. You could use lamb chops and leave them whole instead of cutting them into chunks, which makes it even simpler. And it doesn't need much by way of accompaniments--perhaps a salad or some simply sauteed vegetables."

This delicious all-in-one meal couldn't get any easier or tastier. You can just fling it into the oven and pop over to the pub for a drink or two with friends, and when you get back it's almost ready! You may also use lamb chops instead of the cubes of lamb. It's great either way! The long slow cooking results in meltingly tender lamb and succulent potatoes.
