Lamb a scottadito is a typical second course in Roman cuisine, known for its tender meat and intense flavor that wins you over at the first bite. Lamb chops, simply seasoned with extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper and herbs, are grilled or pan-fried over high heat until they form a golden, succulent crust.

The name "a scottadito" comes from the very way it is enjoyed: with your hands, still warm! Perfect for a rustic dinner party or Easter lunches, it is a quick dish to prepare but impressive.

Instructions

1. Take the ribs out of the refrigerator about 1 hour or so before cooking them.

2. Beat them lightly with a meat tenderizer in the part where there is no bone, placing them between 2 sheets of baking paper.

3. Place extra virgin olive oil in an oven dish or bowl along with the garlic and rosemary. Dip the ribs in it, massage them well so that they soak up the oil and let them rest covered for about half an hour.

4. Heat a frying pan or griddle over high heat. When the griddle begins to smoke, lay and ribs on it.

5. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes per side (until they appear golden brown).

6. Serve them very hot, adjusting for salt and pepper.
