Oven-Baked Lamb
Among the delicacies served at Christmas is lamb, with all its nuances. This year, I have chosen to recommend a leg of lamb oven-baked with spices and white wine, using a slow-cooking method that will render the meat tender, juicy, and very flavorful. If you don’t have any ideas for the main course of your Christmas menu, I recommend considering this very simple recipe to prepare!
