Time 1 hr 45 min

This traditional peasant dish is popular in northern Italy in the spring, where it's a favorite Italian Easter recipe, when lamb is at its most tender. Serve over polenta, rice or couscous along with a fresh green salad. If you prefer, use 1 cup chicken broth in place of the wine in this recipe.
