Recipe
Place the lamb in a stew pot with the ham bone, tomato, onion, pepper, garlic, parsley, mint, bay leaves, salt and pepper and wine. Add enough water to just cover the meat. Bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, until the meat is tender. Skim out the meat onto a serving dish. Purée the liquid, discarding the tomato skin and herbs. Return the purée to the cooking pot. Combine the cloves, pepper, cumin, paprika and bread crumbs and stir into the pot. Cook, stirring, until the sauce is somewhat thickened. Pour over the lamb and serve hot.
