Cooking Recipe Potroasted Kid~ Locarno Style (Capretto Alla
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle the meat with the salt
and pepper. Heat the butter in a casserole, and add the sage,
juniper berries, mint, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook, stirring
constantly, for 3 minutes. Add the meat and brown on all sides.
Lower the heat and add the wine. Simmer, covered, until the meat is
tender (it took me a little more than an hour with the kid I had).
Remove the meat and keep warm. Strain the sauce. Put the sauce back
in the casserole, and stir in the cream and rum. Bring to a boil and
reduce to the consistency of heavy cream. Return the meat to the
sauce and heat through. Serve with dry boiled rice and green peas.
(it says here: but I served it with wide homemade egg noodles, and I
think that works better than rice would, even if not strictly the way
they would do it in Locarno.)
