Description

This is a true gourmet meal: roasted lamb with potatoes and vegetables. It is among the most popular meat dishes to tray in Croatia. Fresh young meat and Mediterranean herbs give this dish ancient flavour of distinguished beauty.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 pounds lamb meat
  • 2 pounds potatoes
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1 apple
  • 2 large onions
  • rosemary leaves
  • sea salt-to taste
  • 1 cup white wine or water
  • 5 tbsp sunflower oil

Instructions

  1. The preparation of this rustic meal is actually quite simple: you put everything together in the baking pan (which is part of the bell) and season with rosemary leaves, sea salt and oil. Just cut potatoes, tomatoes, onion and apple in half.
  2. Cook the way it is described in the text above for 1,5 to 2 hours. You can uncover it after about 45 minutes and turn the meat on the other side. Cover with bell and hot coals and continue baking. The meat should be nice and golden, the potatoes crispy and vegetables soft.
