Every single cook in France makes a version of this seven hour lamb, the famous Gigot de Sept Heures. You put it in the oven and try to forget about it for the next seven hours, except that the haunting aromas keep you checking your watch to see how long until dinner time. This is a dish for the busiest of days, since it tastes like you fussed over it all day long, but instead, you were probably off getting a haircut, running errands all over town, and having lunch with a girlfriend while it cooked peacefully by itself. And while every cook may have her own version, I swear, mine is the best. Really, it is!
