Ingredients:





     5 lb Shoulder or back of lamb


   3/4 c  Butter


    10    Scallions


          Water as needed


          Coarse salt


     3    Heads of lettuce


     2 tb Dill, chopped (or to taste)


          Salt & pepper to taste


     2    Egg yolks


     2    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.
