How often do you eat lamb?
I think it tends to be the forgotten red meat for Americans.
It’s really great stuff, though. A meaty texture, but more “melt in your mouth” than beef. The slightest gamey flavor, but not like goat.
Most of the lamb I buy tends to come from Australia and New Zealand. I suspect our G’Dopers eat their fair share of the creature with the wooly hair.
Things I’ve done with lamb (no, not those kinds of “Mississippi things”. . .):
Ground lamb can be made into “lamburgers” with some spices and grilled. Afghani’s might call that “Kofta”. I serve it with yogurt sauce on a pita and eat it with french fries.
I use a big leg of lamb to make chili or lamb stew with.
A think lamb loin chop makes a delicious meal served with rice/potatoes and a green vegetable (that’s what I had for supper last night and lunch today).
Lamb shanks can make you a version of “osso buco” if you don’t want to use veal.
I’ve used a type of chop (shoulder or blade or something, a fattier, thinner chop than the loin) for types of Indian stew.
Not to mention the classic roasted rack of lamb. Ah. so crisp on the outside, so red on the inside. But, pricey for the amount of meat you get.
Any favorite lamb dishes from the dope?
I bet we eat Lamb about twice a month, probably almost as much as we eat beef.
Lamb lamb wonderful lamb.
Better than jamb!
Better than yambs!
Even better than hamb!
