MY favourite cuisine is obviously Italian, followed by Chinese, Mexican and Indian. But when I have my friends over, I normally cook Italian. Though there are a large number of Italian restaurants in Delhi, they serve ‘‘international Italian cuisine’’, not the regional cuisine, which are very rich in authentic tastes and flavours. These two recipes are for traditional Italian dishes. They are very popular, not very expensive, tasty, not time-consuming, and the process is very simple.Cut the meat into medium-sized chunks. Chop the onion finely and blanch and peel the tomatoes. In a large pan, place the lamb, onion, parsley, tomatoes, salt, pepper and olive oil and add enough water to cover everything. Cover the pan and cook on a very low flame till the meat is tender.
