Servings
  • Lamb's feet 12
  • Eggs 2
  • Parsley 1 ciuffi
  • Lemons 1
  • Flour q.b.
  • Salt q.b.
  • Frying oil q.b.

Instructions

  • 1 As we've said, making fried lamb trotters isn't difficult. It just takes a little patience, because you have to boil them before you can fry them. First, wash the lamb trotters, dry them, and char them over an open flame to remove any hairs stuck to the lamb.
  • 2 Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, and when it comes to a boil, add the lamb shanks. Cook them over medium heat for at least 1 hour. After this time, check if the meat is falling off the bone. When they're done, drain and let them cool.
  • 3 Prepare a batter with 2 eggs, flour, a pinch of salt, and chopped parsley, working it with a whisk to combine the ingredients and avoid lumps forming.
  • 4 Heat a pan with plenty of oil for frying. Once the lamb legs have cooled, dip them in the batter and, as soon as the oil is hot, fry them. When they're golden brown, drain the fried lamb legs, season with a little salt and lemon, and serve hot.
