LAMB CACCIATORE

     LAMB-CACCI - An Easy Lamb Stew

     I got this recipe from my mom.  I'm not sure where she got
     it.  It's not a typical cacciatore (i.e. smothered in tomato
     sauce); instead, it's tart and tastes of herbs.  It smells
     great when it's cooking.  It's very easy to make.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 4 to 6)
     4 lb      shoulder or leg of lamb trim fat and cut into
               bite-size cubes.
     1/3 cup   olive oil
     1         small clove of garlic minced
     1 tsp     dried rosemary crushed
     1/2 tsp   dried sage leaves
     2 tsp     flour
     1/2 cup   white or wine vinegar
     1/2 cup   water
               salt and pepper, to taste

PROCEDURE
          (1)  In a large, heavy-bottomed casserole dish brown
               the meat in hot olive oil.  Be careful not to burn
               the olive oil: it has a lower burning temperature
               than other kinds of cooking oil.

          (2)  Add garlic, rosemary, and sage. Stir.  Sprinkle
               flour on meat, and stir.  Continue cooking the
               meat while stirring, to brown the flour a bit.

          (3)  Add vinegar and water.  Stir thoroughly.  Cover,
               lower heat, and simmer 1 hour or until meat is
               tender.

          (4)  Season to taste with salt and pepper.

NOTES
     Stir frequently during cooking, and add a little hot water
     if necessary to prevent burning.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 20-30 minutes preparation, 1 hour
     cooking.  Precision: no need to measure.
