been enjoying lots of lamb lately. especially rib chops with the bone.
olive oil, s & p, 3 mins. on each side over HOT coals. Tad-ow.
drizzle with a vinagrette & serve with radish tzaziki or whip up a mint chimichuri. damn good either way. even better with a nice cabernet sauvignon.

Made lamb stew yesterday. Red wine, beef stock, porcini mushrooms, carrots, leeks, a bunch of herbs. It simmered for like 8 hours, the lamb was falling apart by the time we ate. Served it old-schoool style over buttery egg noodles, and uncorked a Thackrey petite sirah that was amazing...

I love making Dijon lamb chops, and mustard coated leg of lamb

 

[narlus]

did a pan-seared and then roasted double chops last week, w/ salt and pepper pre-searing, then put on a whisked mix of red wine vinegar, garlic and dijon mustard when i put 'em in the oven. sauteed swiss chard w/ sh!ttake mushrooms and a nice bottle of red complemented it nicely.

I've never had lamb, but I sure do enjoy the heck out of a nice piece of veal!

 

[narlus]

you've never had lamb? really?

Yep....really. I would bet (if I were a betting man) that the majority of Americans have not.

"Yet, still the average American lamb consumption is 300 grams ( .7 lb) per annum "

yeah, it's way down there. strange. we ate a fair bit in ireland, mostly in stews. the lamb chops are great, but a tad pricey. we did a roasted leg for easter dinner which was nicely tasty.

You cook it and I'll eat it!

Damn, that's probably the daily consumption in Australia. We like sheep.

anyone have any leg of lamb recipes?
I have been wanting to smoke on for a long time......but i cant find a paper big enough!!!! ( i kill me )
seriously though....any recipes?

 

[narlus]

i could try to dig up the one i did for easter. it was pretty easy i recall. salt and pepper the hell out of it, slice up a bunch of garlic, slice some holes in the lamb w/ yr finger and poke the garlic slivers into the holes. i think i made a marinade of dijon mustard and chopped rosemary. spread all aroung the lamb.

roast @ 350 or so until done, and as w/ any roast, let it sit for ~10 min or so while covered w/ foil before carving (this gives you time to make the gravy). i am sure you can get cooking instructions from google.

I grilled chops last night. Made a marinade of olive oil, honey, mustard, garlic, mint, S&P. Yum.

Just bring the Vino!


Last week was braised lamb shank with ginger & anise seed & a Spanish Garnacha. We are definitely going to have to bust this one out when it gets cold outside.

See if you can get a boneless leg mate. I've been converted after last Christmas. Finally found a place here in Japan that can get me a good leg of lamb. American guy who lives in Japan, on the net as "The Meat Guy". It arrived by courier a couple of days before Christmas and f*ck me dead if the lamb wasn't from my home town back in Australia. . Cooked up beautiful .
