Sheep arrosticini

Arrosticini are thin skewers of sheep meat cut into small cubes and threaded onto long wooden sticks, grilled over the typical iron channel grill called a fornacella. As they cook, they release an intense aroma of embers and roasting meat, with slightly crispy edges and a juicy center. The flavor is bold yet balanced, enhanced with a pinch of salt and often accompanied by rustic bread drizzled with olive oil. They are enjoyed hot, one after another, as a convivial evening ritual in bracerie and at local festivals.
