INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

First brown the chopped onion in oil in a pan, then add the pieces of
lamb. Pour on the wine and let it evaporate. Add the tomato
concentrate dissolved in hot water, season with salt and pepper and
leave to cook for about 20 minutes. Oil a baking tin or dish and line
with half of the leavened dough. Pour the stew over and cover with  the
other half of the dough, pressing the edges together with your
water-moistened fingers. Prick the pie all over with a fork and brush
with the beaten egg yolk. Bake in a hot oven for 20-30 minutes.
Variation: the dish is prepared on Christmas Eve in Caltanisetta, but
there the dough is stuffed with fillets of fried salt cod in a tomato
and onion sauce. In Messina, on the other hand, the dish is still  made
on Christmas Eve, but the filling is made of fried pork sausage,
slices of fresh pecorino cheese, spring onions and black olives.
