Lamb leg in tender onion marmalade

Stunningly delicious dish. An unusual combination of flavors - try it! Prolonged cooking and pre-marinating make the meat incredibly tender and juicy. And onion marmalade adds a zest to the dish. The sweet taste is perfectly set off by the sharpness, as well as a slight sourness of balsamic vinegar. In my opinion, the perfect combination of ingredients for this type of meat. I recommend it!
