Agnello Alla Cacciatore (Lamb Hunter's Style) image

I found this in a book (I will update as soon as I figure out which one). I made a few changes and now it is my own. This makes a wonderful sauce and the lamb is perfect. I hope you enjoy it too. Serve it as a meat dish as part of a larger meal or with pasta, risotto, polenta or mashed potatoes or as suggested by the book with 6 slices of good Tuscan bread, 1" thick toasted and rubbed with garlic arranged on a platter and the lamb spooned over, yum! The egg yolk at the end really gives it a nice touch.
