I found this recipe many years ago on the back of a tin or packet of something, I can't remember now, but it was 1974 and had "Kapama, a Greek lamb dish" and the following recipe.
325° (160°C) oven, cooking time 1 hour 15 mins
Ingredients
4 lamb chops
2 Tbsp oil
1 onion chopped
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup chopped celery
4 whole cloves
1 ts cinnamon
1 cup chopped tomatoes
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1/2 cup stock or water
1/2 ts sugar
salt and pepper
1lb (500 g) potatoes sliced 1/2" thick
oil for frying
Method
1. Brown chops and place in casserole
2. Saute onion, garlic and celery. Add cloves, cinnamon, tomatoes, tomato paste, water, sugar and salt/pepper.
3. Pour over chops, cover and bake 45 mins.
4. Brown and fry potatoes, place around meat. Cook a further 20 - 30 minutes.
5. Remove cloves and serve with tossed salad.
Serves 4
Note: I usually serve this with green beans, fresh, not frozen. You can substitute a 400g tin of diced tomatoes for fresh (tomatoes)
Today's quote: Mary had a little lamb:
Her father shot it dead,
Now it goes to school with her
Between two bits of bread.
