Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

5 lb Shoulder or back of lamb 3 ea Heads of lettuce
3/4 c Butter 2 tb Dill, chopped (or to taste)
10 ea Scallions Salt pepper to taste
Water as needed 2 ea Egg yolks
Coarse salt 2 ea Lemons, juice only

Cut lamb into serving-size strips. Place in pot with the butter.
Clean scallions; chop the white part into small pcs. and the greens
into larger ones (abt. 1 1/2" long); add to meat. Add 1/2 c. water
and a little coarse salt; cook over med. heat for abt. 1 hr.

Clean lettuce and cut into 2-inch pcs.

As soon as meat has absorbed the water it will begin to brown in
the butter but do not let the scallions brown. Add dill, lettuce,
salt pepper. Cover pot and simmer over low heat for abt. 15 min.
If it is needed, add a little water toward the end of the cooking
time (not in the beginning, because then the lettuce will exude
water).

Beat egg yolks with 2 tb. of water, add the juice from the lemons,
and beat it in well. Add a little of the liquid from the pot, beating
constantly. Pour this sauce back into the pot and shake the pot
gently to mix the sauce with the food. Serve immediately.
