Rome, Lazio · Lazio — Meat & Secondi
Delicate milk-lamb sweetness; sharp vinegar-egg liaison; anchovy umami; rosemary and garlic aromatics; spring-pure
{"Using older lamb — the milk-white tenderness and lack of gaminess are what define abbacchio","Adding the egg liaison over heat — scrambles immediately and creates a broken, grainy sauce","Omitting anchovies — they melt completely and provide the dish's characteristic savoury depth without tasting of fish","Over-braising — abbacchio is tender; 45 minutes is sufficient; past that the meat falls apart and loses its texture"}
