BRAISED LAMB NECK SLICES

2 pounds lamb neck slices, each cut 3/4 inch thick
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salad oil
1 cup water
1 cup pitted prunes
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

On waxed paper, coat lamb neck slices with flour. In 12 inch skillet
over medium-high heat, in hot salad oil, cook slices until well
browned, turning once. Skim off fat from skillet. Add water; heat
to boiling.  Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 45 minutes. Turn
neck slices and stir in prunes. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Add
sugar and remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer 5 minutes longer
or until meat is fork-tender. Serve slices and pan liquid in warm
deep platter.

Variation: Caraway Lamb Neck Slices. Prepare as above but omit
prunes and remaining ingredients. Increase water to 1 1/2 cups.
Add 1 teaspoon caraway seed and 1 beef flavor bouillon cube or
envelope with water. Cook 1 hour or until meat is fork-tender.
