Italian term

(pecora) all'acqua pazza

Italian to English Other Food & Drink Farm stay menu
I barely know what "acqua pazza" is like. The trouble is that I've never heard of "pecora all'acqua pazza" which seems to be a local specialty in the Gargano area (Apulia).

I've read somewhere that the ingredients of acqua pazza are "sea water, wine, olive oil and tomatoes" but in this case I hardly expect that sea water might be a good match with ewe's meat.

The question is open to all gourmet lovers and peers who have time to spare for such trifles...

agree texjax DDS PhD : si, magari mettendo "crazy water" tra virgolette.

thanks
agree Graham Reynolds : Agree with texjax. We are probably writing a "chic" menu; references to "poached" and "boiled in broth" while technically accurate just don't convey the "Italian" touch for me!

mutton (or lamb) boiled in broth

According to my cookbook "Acqua pazza" is water with stuff added to it (toms, oil, salt).
