Agnello sambucano con ragout di favette e cipollotti

Sambucano lamb with broad beans sauce and spring onions

Ingredients

  • 1 Sambucano lamb shoulder (about 1 kg)
  • 100 g broad beans
  • 1 garlic bulb
  • 20 g capers
  • thyme
  • mint
  • 5 rosemary flowers
  • 1 spring onion
  • 50 g lamb cooking juice
  • 1 glass of extra-virgin olive oil
  • butter
  • salt and pepper

Preparation

Let the boneless lamb shoulder rest in a marinade of garlic, capers, a thyme sprig, pepper and some oil for 8 hours. Drain the lamb removing the capers, garlic and thyme; adjust salt to taste and set aside vacuum-packed. Steam at 70°C for 12 hours.

Finely slice the spring onion and stew in a frying pan with butter and a sprig of mint for 5 minutes on low flame. Add the peeled beans, adjust with salt and pepper. Pour some water and cook for 5 minutes.

In a saltière (low-sides and thick bottom saute pan) heat the oil, roast the lamb and brown it on each side. Add some butter, thyme, a garlic clove in order to flavour the meat.

Place the beans and the meat lamb in a plate, sprinkle with lamb cooking juice and finish off with rosemary flowers.

enjoy it with: Barbaresco DOCG I Patriarchi

The Barbera d’Alba Superiore I Patriarchi is a very full-scented wine featuring a wide range of notes. The evident fruity character in the nose is well-supported by its firm texture and good acidity in the mouth, showing a great balance between body and drinkability. The wine is crafted from grapes of different cru-vineyards, including Bricco in Neive (300 to 350MASL) blessed with excellent south-west facing exposure.
