Another recipe inspired by Lynne Rossetto Kasper, the queen of roasting. Despite the long-ish list of ingredients, this comes together quickly. It is visually stunning when served straight from the oven in its baking dish. The vegetables meld together during roasting to create a chunky, yet meltingly soft sauce that is wonderful served over rotini [...]

The lamb roasts slowly for seven hours, making it a perfect holiday meal, because you can prep it in the morning and then forget about it until dinner time ans spend time with your guests. My version is alcohol-free, and therefore lower in histamine than [...]
