You will absolutely want to make Nonna Angelina’s sweet and sour lamb for your next Easter dinner. This dish is bursting with exuberant flavors and textures that represent Sicily: sweet, sour, and crunchy. She sears the lamb to perfection in a pan with plenty of onion, and then cooks it in a wine and vinegar emulsion before topping it with sugared almonds for some delicious crunch.
