James Beard's image

Got all day and in the mood to cook? This lamb is cooked for hours in a 200°F oven and the result is lamb so meltingly tender you can eat it with a spoon, hence the name! Taken from James Beard's last cookbook before his death in 1985.

This recipe is not worth your time. The chicken was tough and the sauce was tasteless.

I followed the recipe exactly and the results were terrible. The chicken was overcooked and the sauce was too salty.
