Ingredients (6 persons):

• 1.25 kg of lamb.
• 150 g of ham.
• 2 middle-size onions.
• 1 tomato.
• 2 green peppers.

Preparation:

• Cut the lamb in small pieces. Chop the onions, the tomato, the garlic, the green peppers, the ham and the parsley.
• In an earthenware pot, heat the oil and brown the lamb slightly. Then add the chopped vegetables and brown all and turn the pot round now and again.
• Wash down the lamb with some wine and a glass of water. Add a pair of bay leaves, some salt and black pepper according to one's taste. Boil on a low heat until the lamb is fresh. It is preferable to put the lid on the pot in order to keep the taste.
• When the lamb is fresh, add a spoonful of flour to the sauce in order to thicken it and keep it boiling for some minutes.
