spezzatino d'agnello

This is something my mother makes every Easter and one of my favorites since I was a kid.
Cube the meat from a leg of lamb in bite-sized pieces and set them aside to marinate for an hour or two with: salt, garlic, black pepper, a touch of rosemary, and some lemon juice.

Slowly cook them with onions and parsley until the onions are translucent and the lamb is lightly browned.  Deglaze with a mouthful of white wine.  Raise the heat and add 3 or 4 eggs- and quickly stir to mix in with the meat as they cook.

At the same time, steam or boil a bunch of large asparagus then cut into 1-2 inch pieces.
Combine the asparagus with the lamb and serve hot with some fresh or toasted
Italian bread.
A traditional but unique dish you'll be sure to cook time and time again.

About Me

My photo
Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
