Lechazo Asado

A Spanish dinner built around quartered suckling lamb and lard — on the table in 170 minutes.

Ingredients

• 4 lbs Quartered suckling lamb
• 2 tbsp Lard
• 1 head Garlic
• 1/2 cup White wine
• 1 cup Water

Steps

1. Rub the lamb all over with salt, lard, and crushed garlic; set it on a rack in a clay roaster with the wine and water below.
2. Roast at 375°F (190°C) for 30 minutes, turn the pieces, and roast 30 more — Castilian lechazo cooks low and slow in its own steam.
3. Raise the heat to 450°F (230°C) for the final 15 minutes to crackle the skin.
4. Rest 15 minutes before serving.
5. Serve with a simple green salad; nothing on the plate should compete with the lamb.
