How to Make Arni Youvetsi Lamb And Orzo
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, brown the lamb pieces in olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the lamb from the pot and set aside.
- Add the onion and garlic to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, cinnamon, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- Return the lamb to the pot. Add the orzo, vegetable broth, and bay leaves.
- Stir well to combine, then bring to a simmer again.
- Cover the pot and transfer to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 100 minutes or until the lamb is very tender and the orzo is cooked through, stirring halfway through.
- Remove from the oven, discard bay leaves, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
