Dictionaries report &#8220;to brown&#8221;, &#8220;to roast&#8221; or even &#8220;to seal&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rosolare is a verb composed by the root &#8220;ros-a&#8221; plus the coniugation &#8220;are&#8221;.<br><em>Rosa&nbsp;<\/em>in Italian means both the flower &#8211; rose &#8211; and the color pink. So pink and rose are &#8220;married&#8221; by the same name: delicacy and sweetness in one word.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus:&nbsp;<em>Rosolare&nbsp;<\/em>means &#8220;to make it pink with delicacy and sweetness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Rosolare<\/em>&nbsp;is a verb used in cuisine when a food&nbsp; mostly meat &#8211; is &#8220;fried&#8221; on a low heat until it becomes nice and pink. Rosolare is also used with a metaphoric meaning: for instance, a girl can let a suitor to&nbsp;<em>rosolare a fuoco lento<\/em>&nbsp;&#8211; on a low fire &#8211; waiting for her response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is, in cuisine, the case of the&nbsp;<em>Abbachio alla Romana<\/em>, Lamb Roman style: a simple recipe where the actions must be well calibrated, as well as the amount of the flavor builders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This is the recipe:<\/strong><br><em>The abbacchio is the baby lamb which has eaten only the mother\u2019s milk.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ingredients:<br>1 kg baby lamb<br>3 garlic cloves<br>olive oil<br>2 salted anchovies<br>vinegar<br>rosemary<br><br>Roast the pieces of lamb (leg, cage and shoulder, bones included) in olive oil and two whole garlic cloves in a large pan.Pound a garlic clove, and mix with rosmary, anchovies and some vinegar.&nbsp;As the lamb is well roasted, pour out the vinegar emulsion on the meat and stir well, until the vinegar has evaporated.&nbsp;Serve immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a recipe is practically impossible to stop on a single verb. I used &#8220;to roast&#8221;. Which is not proper, as someone would tend to heat up the olive oil and toss in the meat on high heat until it becomes brown. No correct.
