Rammaché

Rammaché is a slow-cooked stew that is perfect for cold winter nights. The lamb is cooked until it is tender and falls off the bone, and the vegetables are soft and flavorful. The dish is typically made with carrots, onions, and potatoes, but you can add other vegetables like turnips or parsnips if you like. The herbs used in the dish include thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves, which give it a fragrant and earthy flavor. Rammaché is usually served with crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth.
