| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Sprinkle the lamb liberally with salt and a few grindings of pepper. In a heavy 10- to 12-inch skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat until a light haze forms above it.
|
2. Add the lamb and brown it well, turning the pieces with tongs and regulating the heat so that the meat colors evenly without burning. With a slotted spoon, transfer the lamb to a plate.
|
3. Add the onions and garlic to the fat remaining in the skillet and, stirring frequently, cook for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft and transparent but not brown. Stir in the paprika, then return the lamb and any juices that have collected around it to the skillet.
|
4. Add the parsley and lemon juice and reduce the heat to low. Cover tightly and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the lamb is tender and shows no resistance when pierced with the point of a small, sharp knife.
|
5. Taste for seasoning and serve at once from a heated platter, garnished if you like with lemon wedges.
