Alongside the lobster rice, roast suckling lamb is the other dish Guía Repsol singled out when recognising Casa Machín with a Solete. It is Écija's great roasted-meat tradition, and one more reason to check our guide to where to eat in Écija beyond the usual tapas.
Roasted, the traditional way
The suckling lamb is oven-roasted, with a long, gentle cook aimed at tender meat and golden skin — the same technique used at Casa Machín for other large roasted pieces, such as the turbot. It's slow cooking, not fast food: the oven doesn't hurry.
What else is cooked at Casa Machín
The suckling lamb sits on the menu alongside the rest of the house's Andalusian and Mediterranean cuisine: soupy rice dishes such as the lobster rice, rock fish and seafood from the Sanlúcar and Huelva fish markets, and handmade Mozarabic pastries. The exact dishes and prices, always kept current, are on the menu.
Booking and ordering it
Booking ahead is recommended, especially at weekends. If you're coming as a group or for a celebration, suckling lamb can also be part of the set group menus agreed by phone.
