Total time: 2 hours and 45 minutes
Number of servings: 6-8

Ingredients

- 1 piece of lamb rib (approximately 1.5 kg)
- 500 g chicken liver
- 500 g fresh mushrooms
- 1 bunch of green onions
- 1 bunch of green garlic
- 1 bunch of dill
- 1 bunch of parsley
- 2 boiled carrots
- 3 hard-boiled eggs
- Spices for lamb roast (choose a mix that includes rosemary, thyme, and garlic)
- Pepper (to taste)
- A pinch of salt
- 75 ml olive oil
- 250 ml dry white wine
- 2 raw eggs
- A few cloves

Step by Step

Step 1: Preparing the ingredients

Start by washing the chicken livers well in cold water. Let them drain well, then cut them into small pieces using a sharp knife. The livers should be fresh, as this will influence the final taste of the dish. If you have the time, you can soak them in water with a little vinegar for 30 minutes to make them more tender.

Step 2: Cooking the livers

Heat a pan with a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the livers and fry them until they change color, about 5-7 minutes. Do not leave them on the heat too long to avoid drying them out. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Once the livers are ready, let them cool slightly.

Step 3: Preparing the filling

In another pan, add a little olive oil and sauté the cleaned and chopped mushrooms along with the finely chopped green onion and garlic. You can use champignon mushrooms or any other preferred mushrooms. Sauté them until they become tender and release their flavors, about 5-10 minutes. Add the fried livers to the pan along with the finely chopped herbs (dill and parsley). Mix well to combine the ingredients.

Step 4: Combining the ingredients

In a large bowl, add the liver and mushroom filling, the raw eggs, and season again to taste. Ensure the mixture is uniform.

Step 5: Preparing the lamb ribs

Cut a pocket in the lamb rib, being careful not to puncture the skin on top. This step requires a little attention, but don’t worry; with a little practice, it will become routine. Fill the pocket with the liver, mushroom, and herb mixture. Place the boiled carrots and hard-boiled eggs in the middle of the filling for added color and flavor. After filling the rib, sew the pocket with kitchen twine to keep all the ingredients inside.

Step 6: Marinating

Rub the lamb rib with olive oil and massage well with spices for lamb roast. In the meaty part, insert a few cloves to intensify the aroma. Place the rib in a baking tray and drizzle with dry white wine. Cover the tray with aluminum foil and let it chill for 3-4 hours to allow the flavors to develop.

Step 7: Baking

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. After marinating, place the tray in the oven and let it bake for about 1.5 - 2 hours. During baking, occasionally baste the rib with the juices from the tray to prevent drying out.

Step 8: Serving

When the rib is beautifully browned, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Then, slice it along the ribs into suitable pieces. You can serve it with grilled vegetable sides or mashed potatoes. Garnishing the plate with fresh herbs will add a touch of freshness.
