6-8
ingredients
- 1 lb lamb shoulder, deboned and cubed
- 1 lb beef stew meat
- 1 lb pork, deboned and cubed
- 1 large onion, coarsely chopped
- 3 -4 leeks, cleaned well and coarsely chopped
- 3 -4 carrots, cleaned and coarsely chopped
- thyme, to taste
- bay leaf, to taste
- salt & pepper, to taste
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups dry white wine
- 3 lbs potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch slices
- flour and water
directions
- The night before: Toss together and marinate the meats with the diced onion, leeks, carrots, spices and garlic. Then add the white wine and keep in refrigerator overnight.
- The next day: Remove the meat, draining it, but keeping the juices. Grease a covered roasting dish and cover the bottom with half of the potatoes. Place the marinated meat on top of the potatoes, along with the onions and leeks. Salt and pepper lightly. Place the rest of the potatoes on top of meat, covering thoroughly. Pour the marinade over the whole thing, and add water, enough to reach the top layer of potatoes.
- Mix together some flour and water, in order to get a rather soft and sticky dough. Place the lid on the dish and seal it with this dough. Be sure to press the dough firmly, to be sure it is sealed and not just resting on top of the lid.
- Bake in a 275-300 degree oven for 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Serve right from the dish, hot.

I love lamb and this dish just showcases it in a wonderful and tasty way. I didn't have enough regular potatoes so I threw in two sweet potatoes and it came out really nice. Definately a German recipe and one for my recipe binder. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!! Made for ZWT4 - Fancy Feinschmeckers.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
