Cook the lamb cubes in their own juice at medium-low heat. Then add 1 cup of hot water, cook at medium-low heat until most of the water evaporates and the lamb pieces soften. Add the leek, carrot, butter, olive oil, 1 1/4 cup hot water, salt and pepper. Sprinkle the flour all over, stir.

Cover the lid halfway and cook for about 20 minutes over medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk with lemon juice. Take a few spoon of juice of the dish and blend well with the sauce. Slowly pour this mixture into the pot while stirring. Cover the lid and simmer for about 3-4 minutes. Serve it while still hot with the bread.
