I have a great recipe from "Neopolitan Cuisine" (Scully) that is intended
got kid, but I substituted Lamb.  It is a braised, stewy thing that I served
over/with a starch.  Three separate thickeners, and it was spectacularly
rich and filling.  It cooks VERY well in a table top roaster in a few hours.
You can find it webbed with original text, Scully's translation, and my
version .at:

I prepared it for 170 or so at an event and nothing came back.  It converted
several avowed lamb despisers as well.  The melded flavors are greater than
the sum of its parts.
