Treat your ingredients with care...
- Lamb — For the best results, choose lean cuts of lamb and trim any excess fat before marinating. This will ensure a tender and flavorful meat.
- Fresh herbs — Opt for fresh rosemary and thyme to infuse the lamb with their aromatic flavors. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the quantity by half.
Tips & Tricks
- To enhance the flavors, you can add a splash of balsamic vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice to the dish just before serving.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade or sprinkle some chili powder over the cooked lamb and vegetables.
- Feel free to customize the vegetable selection based on what is in season or your personal preferences.
- For a complete meal, serve Pecora e Verdure with a side of crusty bread or steamed rice.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Serving advice
Pecora e Verdure is best served hot, allowing the flavors to meld together. Garnish each plate with a sprinkle of fresh parsley to add a pop of color and freshness.
Presentation advice
Arrange the herb-infused lamb and sautéed vegetables on a large serving platter, allowing the vibrant colors to shine through. The dish can also be served individually on plates, with the lamb placed on top of the caramelized vegetables for an elegant presentation.
