    Montenegrin lamb in milk is a wonderful main dish.  It is easy to make and the meat comes out  perfectly tender.  Cooking in milk is the secret.  It has some nice hearty root vegetables to enjoy with it as well.  This dish is very popular and for good reason it is delicious.  This dish is basically a one pot meal.  I really enjoyed subtle flavor of the fennel as well.  In Montenegro they also use an cooking pot called a "sac" that is bell shaped and placed on ash.  It also makes the meat very tender.  You don't need a "sac" to make this recipe just some milk.
