  • Trim any large areas of fat from the meat and salt and pepper lightly. In a heavy skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil and brown lamb (if using already cooked lamb, skip this step). Remove lamb and set aside. Remove all but 2 - 3 tablespoons fat from the pan. If less than 2 tablespoons remains, add more olive oil.
  • Add onions, garlic, rice, salt, turmeric, cumin, ginger, paprika and cinnamon to pan in which meat was browned and cook, stirring, for 4 - 5 minutes.
  • Add wine, water, and lamb. Stir to mix well.
  • Cover tightly and adjust heat to maintain a simmer (if using oven instead of stovetop, bake at 375) for about 45 minutes.
  • Add olives and lemon, if using, and check to make sure there is still some moisture. Cook another 15 minutes, or until lamb and rice are both tender.
