This recipe comes from the Dockside Restaurant in York, Maine. I love lamb. And this is easy and so good for entertaining friends over a nice salad and several bottles of wine.

This is a classic Greek standby called "Giouvetsi." And this is a very nice and straight forward version that anyone can do. It also happens to be my favorite meal. Good going Voyager!
