  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      lb            Leg of lamb or veal
   1 1/4  c             Butter
   3      md            Onions -- chopped
     1/2  c             White wine
   1 1/2  lb            Tomatoes -- peeled,
                        - strained -OR-
   1      tb            Tomato paste -- diluted with:
   1      c             Water
                        Salt & pepper -- to taste
   1      c             Water
   3      c             Dry rice

Cut meat into 2" cubes. Wash and wipe dry. Brown meat in 2/3rds of
the butter. Add onions and brown these too. Add wine, tomatoes (or
tomato paste), salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add water.
Cook until meat is tender and about 1 cup sauce remains.

Cook rice as directed on package. Melt remaining butter and add it to
rice. Place meat and sauce in bottom of a tube pan or ring mold. Add
rice and pack lightly. Turn out onto a platter so meat is on top; the
sauce will run down the sides of the rice.
