Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oil over medium heat in a lidded kettle or a heavy pot just large enough to hold the lamb in 2 layers. In batches, brown lamb well on all sides. Pour out all but 2 tablespoons of fat.
- Step 2
Add garlic and vinegar. Boil vinegar to reduce by half. Add sage, rosemary, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Leave lid ajar and braise over low flame for 1 hour, turning lamb occasionally. If liquid evaporates, add water sparingly. Cook until lamb is tender, testing it with a fork. The lamb is ready when it begins to fall from the bone.

Hands down, my favorite lamb recipe for dinner parties. Super easy to make. Tender, fall apart meat that pares well with any type of side dish. I double the garlic. I use a bone-in leg of lamb most often, but sometimes a lamb shoulder.
