Lamb Cubes Base for Souvlaki, Pitas, Stews and More
- Ready In:
- 8hrs 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 2 -4 lbs boneless lamb shoulder, cubed
- 3 3 tablespoons lemons or 3 tablespoons orange flavored oil
- 2 lemons, zest of, grated
- 2 teaspoons rosemary (to taste) or 2 teaspoons oregano (to taste)
- 6 garlic cloves
- 1 onion (optional)
- salt and pepper
directions
- Brown lamb in olive oil.
- Deglaze pot with a little water scraping up browned bits and put all into a crock pot.
- Add other ingredients. Since its a base, I just leave the cloves whole and quarter the onions.
- Cook in crockpot for 8 hours on low. I have left it for 12 before, the meat is falling apart tender then but works beautifully.
- Let cool, remove from broth and store in freezer bags if not using immediately. Alternatively let the broth cool and then defat it and add that to some or all bags of meat.
- Take what you need when your craving for a good lamb dish hits.

I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more.
I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking.
My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly
