It's a melt off the bone lamb neck delicacy that one HAS to have seconds of.
Ingredients
6 x lamb necks (chopped)
Wine
Oregano
Onions
Garlic
Salt
Tomatoes
Seasoning
Lemons
Oil
Preparation
6 x lamb necks chopped into 3 pieces each, strip excess fat off, marinate in oil, salt, oregano and lemon juice and leave for a day in the fridge.
Heat up a big frypan with oil, onions, red wine, oregano, seasoning and a can of crushed tomatoes. When the onions begin to caramalise, place the necks gently in the pan so that they sear on both sides. You may need to do it in stages.
Place the necks and stew in casserole dishes into a pre-heated oven for about 90 minutes. Take the casserole dishes out of the oven, let them cool a bit and then place them into the fridge overnight.
The day of the feast comes, take the casserole dishes from the fridge and gently scoop the top layer of fat off into the bin. To add more red wine at this point is a good idea. Pop them back into a pre-heated oven for another 6-7 hours.
Serve hot with rice or as they are, but be prepared for a rush for seconds and thirds!

Hot Tips
Cooking pasta
When cooking pasta the golden rule is to have the water rolling and boiling. This prevents the pasta sticking together. Also add plenty of salt to the cooking water. Drop in pasta, stir once then cook for 7 minutes (for fresh pasta) or according to packet instructions for dried pasta.
