Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour and 15 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 800 g lamb meat (the leg or shoulder are the most suitable)
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 100 g prosciutto, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 300 ml red wine (choose a quality wine that you enjoy drinking)
- 200 ml meat broth or water
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Herbs (rosemary, thyme) – fresh or dried
Instructions:
1. Preparing the ingredients:
Start by chopping the onion and prosciutto into small pieces. Choose a fresh, quality onion, as it will add a delicious flavor to the sauce. For prosciutto, you can also opt for bacon if you prefer a smokier taste. Make sure you have all the ingredients at hand so you don't waste time while cooking.
2. Browning the meat:
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and prosciutto, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the prosciutto starts to brown. This step will create a flavorful base for your sauce.
3. Cooking the lamb:
Cut the lamb meat into suitable pieces (about 4-5 cm) and add it to the skillet. Browning the meat is essential to seal in the juices and add a delicious crust. Cook the lamb for 5-7 minutes until golden brown on all sides.
4. Adding the wine:
Pour the red wine over the lamb and let it simmer for a few minutes to evaporate the alcohol. This step will intensify the flavors and give a rich taste to the sauce. You can use a wine that you enjoy drinking so that the flavors complement each other perfectly.
5. Simmering:
Add the meat broth (or water) over the meat, seasoning with salt, pepper, and desired herbs. If using fresh rosemary, don't forget to select a few nice sprigs to add to the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer on low heat for about 40-50 minutes, stirring occasionally. The meat should be tender and easily pull apart.
6. Finishing the sauce:
Once the lamb is ready, remove the lid from the skillet and let the sauce reduce for a few minutes over medium heat to become more concentrated. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serving:
Serve the lamb with its aromatic sauce over a bed of mashed potatoes or alongside sautéed vegetables. A fresh green salad will perfectly complement this meal. You can also add some green olives or lemon slices for an extra burst of flavor.
Personal suggestion:
If you want to add a touch of sweetness, you can add a few dried plums or apricots to the sauce in the last 10 minutes of cooking. These will give a surprising taste and a unique aroma to your dish.
This simple lamb with sauce recipe will surely become a favorite in your family. Give it a try and enjoy every bite!
