Next, you may also indulge in Dr. Wine’s Agneau 7 Heures, featuring lamb shoulder slow-cooked for seven hours, resulting in tender, flavorful meat.
It is served atop a bed of sweet potato purée, French beans, garlic confit, and a touch of lemon zest. The extended cooking time allows the lamb’s flavor to meld beautifully with the wine and herbs, creating a rich, aromatic gravy that enhances the overall dish.
