Ingredients
6 lamb shanks
1 large onion, finely chopped
¼ cup olive oil
5-6 garlic cloves, grated
1 (15 ounce) can pureed tomatoes
1 cinnamon stick
2 cloves
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dry crushed oregano
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4-5 cups water
1 pound uncooked orzo
1 and ½ teaspoons salt
3 cups boiling hot water
Garnish:
feta cheese, parsley, freshly grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 °F, 230 °C.
Drizzle a very small amount of olive oil over lamb shanks and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Roast in preheated oven for 35 minutes until they become nicely browned. This step eliminates the need to brown on the stove top.
While the lamb is browning in the oven prepare the sauce: In a heavy bottomed pot, cook the chopped onions with the oil over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes or until soft and golden. Add the garlic and warm through until fragrant. Add the pureed canned tomatoes, salt, pepper and spices. Add 4 cups of water and bring to a boil.
Once the lamb is browned, remove from oven. Reduce the oven's temperature to 375 °F, 190 °C.
Pour the tomato sauce over the lamb. Cover the tray with foil and return to oven and braise for 2-2 and 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
Remove from oven and taste the sauce. Adjust the seasoning if it needs more salt.
Bring 3 cups of water to a boil.
Place the uncooked orzo into the lamb and sauce and mix. Add the 3 cups of boiling hot water along with 1 and ½ teaspoons salt. Mix well to incorporate.
Return the pan to the oven and bake at 425 °F, 220 °C for 15-20 minutes, covered with foil.
Remove foil and cook 10 minutes uncovered.
Take the baking pan out of the oven and pour 1 cup of ice into it to stop the orzo from cooking. Mix it carefully. This will keep the orzo from overcooking and becoming gelatinous or mushy. It also adds to the sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, crumbled feta or grated parmesan cheese.
Enjoy! Kali Orexi!

Oh my, this is so good after Christmas fast is over. I love greek lamb!
I love your recipes Dimitra, I will be making this one for Easter this year....thank you! 💕😋
I just made this yiouvetsi and it turned out _exactly_ like how my aunt used to make it! I miss her so much... She used to make it every New Year (for my name day) and I hadn't eaten any since 2014! I had to modify the recipe though, since I only had 1.7 lbs of a lamb leg to work with. So I chopped it into 4 cubes, kept the bone aside, then boiled it in water, and poured _that_ water on top of the orzo (which I had browned a little, in a pan). I also halved/thirded certain quantities and used 375 F for every step (while extending the time by a few minutes). So happy I made this; it's a taste of my childhood. Thank you, Dimitra!
Cinnamon and cloves in savoury cooking is amazing…my wife and I use them together in so many dishes from savoury to sweet👍🤤 My mom and Greek neighbours as I was growing up growing up are to thank. Thank god my wife also had a mom who used them in savoury as well🙏🏻🤤

The written recipe is a little different than this YT video, so I am curious which one is correct. The written recipe says to use 15 ounces of crushed tomatoes. Okay, if you have any confusion, go to the written recipe. I just made it with 3 shanks and it is a winner.
Hello my friend thank you for sharing. Another delicious and yummy recipe. All the lamb looks amazing. Perfect recipe always a pleasure to watch. Fully watch video. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your day. Enjoy your family. God bless.🙏😋💕🌏

Is there any way to cook some steps in the instant pot to save some time? I've tried your older recipe and the instant pot chicken yvetsi, both are amazing
How much canned pureed/diced tomatoes? In your video, you stated two 15-oz cans, but on your website, you wrote, one 15-oz can.
👏🌺
😋❤❤❤
Question please Dimitra....can you use a covered cast iron dutch oven to put into the oven, or do you recommend the roasting pan covered with parchment and foil? Thanks.
