Indulge in a cozy winter dish of lamb casserole with creamy yogurt and dill dumplings.
Ingredients:
  • 36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 1.2kg boneless lamb shoulder, trimmed, cut into 5cm pieces
  • 1 large brown onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 250ml (1 cup) red wine
  • 500ml (2 cups) passata
  • 250ml (1 cup) chicken style liquid stock
  • 3 fresh bay leaves or dried bay leaves
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 340g (2 1/4 cups) plain flour
  • 4.00 gm baking powder
  • 2.40 gm salt
  • 260g (1 cup) Greek-style yoghurt
  • 9.20 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 green shallots, trimmed, thinly sliced
  • 40.00 ml chopped fresh dill
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan forced. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large flameproof casserole dish over high heat. Brown the lamb in batches, turning, for 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a dish over low heat. Saute onion and garlic for 8 minutes until soft. Pour in wine and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Add lamb back to the dish along with passata, stock, bay leaves, and cinnamon. Season to taste. Bring to a boil, cover with baking paper and foil, then bake for 1 hour until almost tender. Remove the covering and cook for an additional 45 minutes until the lamb is tender.
  • For the dumplings, combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Create a well in the center and add yogurt and oil. Stir until dough forms. Divide the dough in half. Roll out one half on a floured surface to a 17 x 23cm rectangle. Spray with oil and sprinkle half of the shallot and dill mixture. Roll it up and cut into 6 equal pieces. Repeat the process with the remaining dough, oil spray, shallot, and dill.
  • Place the scrolls on top of the lamb and bake until the scrolls are golden, about 15-20 minutes.
