TRADITIONAL ITALIAN RECIPE: The most renowned recipe for grilled lamb is Abbacchio alla scottadito, which was originally made famous in Rome.
This recipe,which means 'lamb that burns the fingers' is also prepared in many parts of central Italy, such as Abruzzo, Umbria, Marche, and throughout Lazio.
Agnello, particularly the cosciotto ( leg ) or spalla ( shoulder ) is also delicious baked with rosemary, or first marinated in lemon and then roasted.
Other parts of the lamb, particularly from the forequarter, are often used in stews ( spezzatini ), or in ragù d’agnello ( lamb meat sauces ). Stewed or roasted lamb meat is also used as a filling for pasta or cannelloni.
