Serves: 6 Preparation time: 15′ Cooks in: 1:50′ Ready in: 2h + 5′
Ingredients
2 kgr lamb, in portions
2 tbsp butter melted

2 tbsp red wine vinegar
2-3 orange peel
1 kgr baby potatoes
dried thyme
salt, black pepper freshly ground
Method
Step 1
In a large pot heat olive oil and half butter and brown lamp in batches on all sides. Transfer on a plate.
Step 2
Add remaining butter in the same pot and cook onion and garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in lamp pieces, season well with salt and pepper and pour in wine. When alcohol evaporates stir in wine mixed with vinegar and allow to bubble.
Step 3
