CREAMY MEDITERRANEAN SAUCE FOR PORK, CHICKEN, OR LAMB
This is so easy and absolutely delicious and it is wonderful served over pork, chicken or lamb. It is a great way to clean out your pantry. It is a simple a very hearty sauce. A mix of tomatoes, olives, capers, onions, artichokes and mushrooms with a hint of cream make this a rich creamy sauce. For the main course ... try marinating the pork, chicken or lamb in just a 'bottled Greek salad dressing' all day, then prepare by either pan searing, broiling, baking or grilling; and then serve over a bed or orzo or rice and top with this sauce. Makes a wonderful dinner.

Steps:
- Base -- Add 2 teaspoons olive oil to your saute pan; if using non stick 1 teaspoon is fine. Heat to medium / medium high heat. Add in the onions and cook 2 minutes; then add in the capers, olives and mushrooms and cook another minute or two to combine all the flavors.
- Sauce -- Add the white wine to deglaze the pan and scrape up any bits. Cook another minute to reduce the wine. Reduce the heat to medium and add in the tomatoes, artichoke hearts and cream, stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper; go easy on the salt. Nothing more is needed.
- Simmer -- Just simmer on medium / medium low and let the sauce reduce. It will take about 10 minutes to slightly thicken. Remember this is not a THICK sauce or gravy.
- Serve -- Spoon the sauce over grilled pork, chicken or lamb. This is excellent over rice, pasta (I love orzo for this), couscous and even butter noodles. This is even excellent over a baked potato topped with feta cheese. Fresh basil makes a nice garnish if you want. ENJOY!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Sprinkle lamb with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large ovenproof pot over high heat. Add lamb; brown on all sides, about 10 minutes total. Using tongs, transfer lamb to plate. Add 1 tablespoon oil to pot. Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté until vegetables brown and begin to soften, scraping up browned bits, about 10 minutes. Return lamb to pot, pushing gently into vegetables. Add tomatoes, broth, rosemary sprigs, thyme sprigs, and peppercorns. Bring to boil over high heat. Cover pot; transfer to oven. Roast until meat is tender and pulls easily from bone, turning occasionally, about 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, bring 8 cups water and salt to boil in large saucepan over high heat. Gradually whisk in polenta. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until thickened and tender, stirring frequently, about 22 minutes. Whisk in butter and minced thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove lamb and herbs from pot; discard herbs. Place pot over medium-high heat and boil until sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Divide polenta among 6 large bowls; top each with 1 lamb shank. Pour sauce over; serve.
GREEK CHICKEN (OR LAMB)
I got this recipe for Greek Chicken from the Dinah Shore Cookbook. It is attributed to Alex Karras' mother. It's one of my favorites recipes, and although it was written for chicken, I have often used it with lamb as well. I've given suggestions for the lamb version at the end of the recipe. The time posted is for the chicken; you will have to adjust the cooking time if you use lamb, based on the size and cut of the meat used.

Steps:
- Wipe chicken dry and sprinkle with salt& pepper.
- Melt butter in a dutch oven and brown the chicken pieces on all sides; remove and set aside.
- To the same pot, add onions and garlic and saute until onions are soft; add tomatoes, tomato sauce, sugar and cinnamon, then stir in sherry.
- Return the chicken to the dutch oven and correct seasonings with the salt& pepper.
- Simmer for 25 minutes, adding hot water as needed, until chicken is tender (you do want this saucy as you will need a cup of sauce for the rice, plus extra to pour over the finished dish).
- (If you are using lamb, depending on the cut, cook longer as needed until the lamb is tender).
- Remove from the heat.
- In another pot, combine the chicken broth with 1 cup water and 1 cup tomato sauce in which the chicken was cooked; bring to a boil, add the rice, salt lightly, and stir.
- Cover, lower the heat, and simmer for 20 minutes (do not uncover during cooking).
- Remove the rice from the heat, stir gently with a fork and cover, and let stand a few more minutes.
- While the rice is standing, if you wish, reheat the chicken.
- To serve, pack the cooked rice into demitasse cups or teacups and unmold with the chicken on warmed plates.
- Pour more sauce over the chicken and rice.
- If needed, arrange any remaining chicken and rice on a platter and pour more sauce over all.
- NOTES: I've used shoulder lamb chops, lamb stew, and shanks, but my favorite was to sometimes get a thick slice (about 1 1/2") from the leg or shoulder from a butcher; it made almost a potted lamb roast that way and was delicious sliced up and served in the same manner as the chicken.

- Garlic Butter Sauce. Garlic and butter are a classic pairing for a reason, and these familiar flavors can help you get comfortable with the idea of adding lamb to the dinner queue.
- Grilled Lamb Chops with Herb Sauce. These flavorful grilled lamb chops come together in less than an hour, but are elegant enough for a special occasion.
- Chimichurri Sauce. The classic herb sauce can be spooned over cooked lamb or used as a marinade before it hits the flame. Lamb loves oregano and mint, but use the recipe as a guide, adding whatever fresh, green herbs you have on hand.
- Creamy Dill Dipping Sauce. This three-ingredient sauce (plus salt and pepper) is made with mayonnaise, fresh dill, and lemon juice. It's perfect for dipping meatballs or serving alongside slices of a roasted leg of lamb.
- 3-Ingredient Roasted Lemon Sauce. This easy lemon-garlic sauce is just the right balance of sweet with a hint of bitter, and goes with just about everything.
- Cool, Creamy Greek Tzatziki Sauce. Thick and creamy Greek yogurt is the base for this cool and creamy sauce. Fresh dill, mint, garlic, and cucumber make this the sauce that's just right for spreading over a lamb burger, dolloping on a gyro, or dipping slices of rosy roasted lamb in.
- Easy Pan Sauce. Skillet-seared lamb chops are one of life's little luxuries. Give them the finishing touch they deserve with an easy pan sauce. A splash of wine, a spoonful of mustard, a knob of butter, and a sprinkling of fresh herbs go a long way in making lamb feel even more special.
