Lamb, Peppers, Sheep Cheese, and Eggs: Agnello, Peperoni, Cacio, e Uova
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus 1/4 cup
- 1 onion, coarsely chopped
- 3 pounds lamb shoulder, cut into 4-inch pieces
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup freshly grated caciocavallo or pecorino Romano
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 6 red or green bell peppers, roasted, peeled, seeded and cut into strips
- In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven, heat 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat and add the onion.
- Cook for 5 minutes, until it is softened and golden.
- Season the lamb chunks with salt and pepper and add to the skillet.
- Increase the heat to high and sear the lamb on all sides, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Stir in the wine, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to incorporate the browned bits of meat and onion, and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook over medium-low heat for about 90 minutes, until the meat is very tender.
- Add more wine or water, if necessary, to keep the pan from drying out.
- When the meat is cooked, combine the cheese, eggs, and bread crumbs in a large bowl and whisk together.
- Season with salt and pepper and add the roasted pepper strips.
- Increase the heat under the lamb to high and add the egg mixture to the pan.
- Stir as for scrambled eggs and cook until the eggs harden.
- Serve immediately.
