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.
