Agnello Cacio E Uova Neapolitan Fricassee Of Spring Lamb Recipes

AGNELLO CACIO E UOVA (NEAPOLITAN FRICASSEE OF SPRING LAMB)

Steps:

• Rinse the lamb pieces and then dry them well. Place the oil in a casserole over medium-high heat and brown the lamb pieces, setting them aside when they are done. Add a little more oil to the pan and turn the heat to low. Add the onions and stir into the oil and meat juices. Cover the onions and cook, occasionally removing the cover to stir, until the onions are very soft and almost melted into the oil. This will take about an hour. A drop or two of water can be added from time to time, if necessary, to keep the onions from browning.
• Add the browned lamb pieces to the onions with about half the wine. Continue cooking at medium-low, uncovered, for 30 minutes, or until the wine is mostly evaporated. Add the remaining wine, 1/2 cup of water and the peas. Cover and cook over medium-low heat an additional 30 minutes.
• Remove the lamb, onions and peas from the casserole and set aside on a warm platter in a warm place while you make the sauce. Keep the casserole on low heat, so that the juices are barely simmering. Beat the eggs well and mix in the parmigiano. Add a ladleful of the meat juices to the eggs, beating well as you drizzle it in. Continue beating in the meat juices until the egg mixture is warm. Then carefully beat the egg mixture into the juices in the casserole. Continue beating over very low heat until the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon. Do not let the sauce come to a boil because that will scramble the eggs. If the sauce appears to be at the boiling point, remove from the heat immediately, beating to cool it down as rapidly as possible.
• Remove the sauce from the heat and beat in the parsley and lemon juice. Taste and add salt and pepper if desired. Spoon the sauce over the warm lamb and peas, garnish with pieces of lemon and serve immediately.
