View Full Version : baaaaaaaa, baaaaaaaa!
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...

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.

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.

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

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.

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. :thumb:. Cooked up beautiful .
