Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Volume 10-06 Jun 2007

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 medium yellow onion -- cut
into 8 wedges
2 garlic cloves -- minced
2 pounds new white potatoes -- halved or quartered
or new red potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds lamb stew meat -- trimmed of some fat,

Add half of the herbs and all of the pepper to the cooker and season with
salt and pepper. Top with the tomatoes and dot with the butter. Cover and

Agnello al Forno, which means "oven roasted lam", is a traditional home-
cooked dish, especially around Naples. It is layered in a clay casserole
and cooked for hours. Although it is most often made with goat, the lamb
version, usually cut from the shoulder, is most popular. The fresh herbs
are a must; don't even consider making this dish with dried [herbs].

Try as many new vegetables as you can. The research indicates that eating a
great variety of them will help fight cancer. But how do you eat an
artichoke? To get the greatest benefit from its vitamins and phytochemicals, 
steam it and scrape the ‘meat’ off the leaves with your front teeth. But it 
is a lot easier to transform artichoke hearts into a tangy spread to serve on 
wedges of bell pepper or rye crackers—and you'll love the taste.

ChupaNote : Instead of the mayo and yogurt, I used a 1/4 cup of soft tofu
and upped the spices: doubled the thyme, basil and mustard. Added a 1/2
teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Added a pinch of flaked nori instead of the
salt. Worked fine. Next time I'll double the scallions too! I like a little
bit of bite.

ChupaNote : This is one of my favorite 'busy day' recipes. I always have
cooked brown rice in my freezer in 2 cup portions. So I skip that step and
just add whatever veggies are in the fridge.
