Ingredients:  
8 tbsp olive oil
3 lbs boneless leg of lamb, cut into 1-1/2" pieces
1 lg bulb fennel, cleaned and cut into 1/3" slices
1 medium yellow onion, chopped coarsely
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
4 large cloves of chopped fresh garlic

1 c chicken stock
Salt and pepper to taste.

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325º.
Heat half the olive oil in a large skillet and add as many pieces of lamb that can sit on bottom and brown nicely. Remove and place in an oven-proof casserole. Brown the rest of the lamb and do the same, making sure to get rid of the excess fat. In another saute pan, add and heat the remaining olive oil. Then add the fennel and onion. When golden brown, add rosemary and garlic. Toss over medium heat for about 2 minutes, then add tomatoes, saute for 4 minutes, add the chicken stock. Stir and heat until hot. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour over the lamb, cover, and bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours. Take out of the oven and let set for 10 minutes. Then skim fat off the top and gently stir in precooked orzo. Delicious with plain or spinach polenta, or mashed potatoes.©
