Lamb 'Burn Your Fingers' Cutlets
“This is a very ancient Roman dish. And the shepherds used to cook this on an open fire, so the name ‘Abbacchio Scottadito’ means Lamb ‘burn your fingers’, because after cooking the little cutlets they would pick them up with their hands and chew them.” - Catherine, 62, Rockdale NSW
