Abruzzo Recipe: Country Style Lamb

INGREDIENTS:

Serves 6

* 2 lb leg of lamb
* extra virgin olive oil
* onion
* lemon juice
* grated Pecorino cheese, fresh
* chili pepper
* salt

PREPARATION:

20 minutes preparation + 1 hour cooking

After washing and drying the haunch of lamb, lay it in an oven-dish, brush with oil, salt, and add a pinch of chili and the finely chopped onion.

Put the oven-dish into a hot oven (400°F) and cook remembering to turn the haunch occasionally. As soon as it is browned, sprinkle with some lemon juice, dust with grated Pecorino and serve.

CHEF'S TIPS:

When cooking lamb, the meat should never be overcooked or it will taste stringy. When in oven, cover with tin foil so that it will not brown too much on the surface.
