Lamb Help

[felicat]

I'm smack in the middle of day 3 and looking forward to planning my menu s in the next couple of weeks. I could totally survive on pork and beef with other proteins thrown in but I know that I need to mix things up. I'm a relative lamb novice I think I've cooked it 3 times in my life. I know I like tasty little lamb chops ok but my husband has never eaten it. Does anyone have any tasty easy lamb ideas they could share with me?

I just take a 2 kg leg of lamb, put it in a roasting bag, add 2 lemons divided into 8 pieces each, a handful of fresh rosemary and half a teaspoon of salt. Tie the bag, put it in oven heated to 200 C for 2 h. Take it out, opent the bag with scissors, put it back in for another 20 minutes. Take it out, cool down for 20 minutes, slice and serve topped with the melted fat, caramelised lemon pieces and dried rosemary leaves. For a side dish, root vegetables are best, either steamed, roasted or raw.

I love cumin on lamb. I just sprinkle it on a chop or shoulder steak, salt/pepper, and grill. Yum.

 

I've eaten (but never made) lamb with mint and it was delicious. I want to give that a try.

There's a fantastic recipe for lamb dolmas in Well Fed 2. I haven't worked with lamb that much before either, and my favorite/easiest way to do so is with ground lamb! There are a ton of recipes in Mediterranean Paleo Cooking for lamb too!

I like lamb chops in a baking tray with some new potatoes. Add olive oil, dried mint, dried chilli flakes, and the zest and juice of a couple of lemons. Bake in the oven on medium ish for an hour.
