Lamb's Trotters

Pedro Echaurren and Andrea García, Marisa Sánchez's great-uncle and great-aunt, founded Echaurren in 1898. With the railway about to arrive in Ezcaray, they decided to convert the old stagecoach stop into a small hotel. At just 18 years old, Marisa Sánchez took over the business, applying what she had learnt from her great-aunt Andrea, her mother, and her grandmother. She turned traditional recipes such as croquettes, lamb's trotters, and Rioja-style potatoes into her signature dishes. Her husband, Félix Paniego, took charge of managing the business and choosing the wines.

This dish is one of the classics on the menu, described by her son, the chef Francis Paniego, as "a delicacy; a wonderful dish."
