About Jagnjetina ispod sača
Jagnjetina ispod sača is lamb prepared beneath a domed cooking bell. The Croatian-style rendition taught by Damir and Vanda features bone-in lamb shanks with potatoes, peppers and carrots, enriched by bacon and white wine.
The meat is tender and substantial, with juices that flavour the surrounding vegetables. Rosemary adds an aromatic note, while the wine brings brightness to the rich meat and bacon. Additional vegetables and lard are optional.
The lamb and vegetables share a generous dish suited to a gathering. Fresh bread is a suggested accompaniment for the juices, with the same white wine also offered at the table.
