Roman-Style Lamb
by Charlie McCarthy, Sr.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2.5 lbs lamb
- 2 sprigs rosemary
- 2 anchovies
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 cups wine
Recipe
- Cut the lamb into bite sized chunks.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat and add the butter.
- When the butter melts, add 2 garlic cloves and saute until it begins to brown.
- Remove the garlic and add the lamb. Brown the meat on all sides, working in batches if necessary.
- In a small bowl, combine the rosemary, anchovies, vinegar, salt and remaining chopped garlic and mix well to combine.
- Add this mixture to the meat and cook over medium-low heat until the vinegar evaporates and the meat is tender.
- Moisten occasionally with some of the wine. The meat will take about 1 hour to cook.
