Description
Scottadito — "burning fingers" — refers to the thinly cut lamb rib chops (abbacchio, young milk-fed lamb) grilled over high heat and eaten immediately, directly from the grill with fingers. The technique is intentional charring: the thin chops cook in under 4 minutes per side, developing a char on the exterior while the interior remains barely cooked. The char is not a mistake — it is the flavour.
