    Rack Of Lamb with a Grain Free Crust : Great Tasting Real Food

    Lamb Lamb and more Lamb Recipe Ideas to Share! - Page 3 Rackoflamb1

    Lamb does tend to be a more expensive meat, but just tastes superb! Stores and supermarkets do sometimes have 'special offers' - which if you are watching your budget can be an opportune moment to purchase! This lovely recipe I'm sharing serves four ... you may wish to give it a try!

    Ingredients (makes 4 servings):
    2 large racks of lamb, 8 ribs (1.5 kg / 3.3 lb) - will yield about 50% meat
    2 tbsp ghee or lard
    1 tbsp Dijon mustard - you can make your own
    1 cup ground pork rinds (50 g/ 1.7 oz) - you can make your own to avoid unhealthy additives
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1-2 sprigs fresh rosemary or 1-2 tsp fried rosemary
    ½ tsp salt or to taste (pink Himalayan is good)
    freshly ground black pepper

    Instructions:
    1. Bring the lamb racks to room temperature before cooking. Preheat the oven to 400 F / 200 C. Season the racks with salt and pepper. Heat a large pan greased with 1 tablespoon of ghee over a high heat and place in the lamb racks with the fatty side down (ideally one rack at a time to avoid overcooking).
    2. Cook for just 2-3 minutes until browned. Turn on the other side and cook for about 30 seconds. Using tongs, cook the rack standing up for another 30 seconds and on the sides for 30 seconds to seal the meat from all sides.
    3. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and let it cool down slightly. Meanwhile, prepare the crust. Place the pork rinds, minced garlic, rosemary, more salt and pepper (if using unsalted pork rinds) and the remaining 1 tablespoon of ghee into a food processor.
    4. Pulse until crumbly (a Kenwood mixer or similar with a food processor attachment works well). Wrap a piece of aluminium foil tightly around the exposed rib bones to prevent them from burning. Spread the mustard over the top fatty parts.
    5. Add the pork rind & herb crust and press it in using your fingers so it won't fall of during baking. Place in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes (medium-rare) or 20-23 minutes (medium). Remove from the oven and cover with aluminium foil and let it rest for about 10 minutes. The meat will keep cooking from the residual heat resulting in evenly cooked and juicy meat.
    6. When ready to be served, remove the aluminium foil and discard. Use a sharp knife to gently slice the racks to prevent the crust from falling off.

    Enjoy!

    ... another lamb recipe suggestion

    Lamb Lamb and more Lamb Recipe Ideas to Share! - Page 3 Compressed_LAMB-CHOPS_108689593

    Lamb cutlets with cannellini beans and parmesan dressing

    Here is what you need:
    Serves Four
    (16.9g carbs per serving)
    1 tsp Dijon mustard
    1 garlic clove, chopped
    2 anchovies, very finely chopped
    150 ml olive oil, plus extra for brushing
    juice and zest of 1 lemon
    4 tbsp grated parmesan
    70 g wild rocket
    12 lamb cutlets (approx 550g)
    2 x 410g tins cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
    1 tbsp white or red wine vinegar

    Here is what you do:
    1. For the dressing, whizz the mustard, garlic, anchovies, 100ml of the olive oil and the lemon juice in a food processor or blender. Pour into a bowl, then stir in the lemon zest, grated Parmesan and half of the rocket, chopped.
    2. Preheat a griddle/grill pan (or barbecue). Brush the lamb cutlets with oil and season. Griddle/grill (or barbecue) the cutlets over a high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until brown and crisp.
    3. Put the cannellini beans in a pan with the remaining olive oil and the vinegar; season well. Heat gently for a few minutes to warm through, then stir in the rest of the rocket. Serve the lamb on a bed of beans and rocket with the dressing drizzled over.

    Hey and did you know ...

    The greenery is provided by using wild rocket which is sometimes known as Arugula. Now we all know that salad greens are healthy, and that most are very low in calories. However, did you know that not all give you a good dose of nutrients... well Arugula/ Rocket is one leafy green vegetable that stands out as a rich source of many vitamins and minerals.

    Consider the difference between iceberg lettuce and arugula/rocket:
    Arugula contains about eight times the calcium,
    fives times the vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin K,
    four times the iron as the same amount of iceberg lettuce.
    The choice is easy... start with arugula/rocket for a healthier salad!

    Haven't bought any for ages, I'll look tomorrow but cocoa powder is usually alongside the drinking chocolate and stuff in t'supermarket. Peppermint oil used to be along with the cake ingredients - but make sure it isn't peppermint "flavouring". Otherwise a health food shop.

    I mix a teaspoon of cocoa powder with milk and a couple of tabs of Splenda (used to use sugar), add a few drops of peppermint oil, nearly fill the cup with hot water and top off with more milk.


    I'd decided to get some Gloucester Old Spot sausages from the farm shop and was pondering what else I haven't had lately. Of course some lamb chops!

    Lamb Lamb and more Lamb Recipe Ideas to Share! - Page 3 Moussakajpg

    Lamb Moussaka

    There are many lovely recipe ideas for Moussaka, and you may have already seen this one and even tried it!
    A low carb lamb moussaka recipe which is family friendly too!
    It's just made for batch cooking, why not make two and freeze one.
    The Caerphilly Cheese topping just adds to this lovely dish.

    Ingredients:
    Serves Four
    1 tbsp olive oil
    800 g lamb mince
    2 onions, chopped
    1 tsp ground cinnamon
    3 cloves garlic, crushed
    4 tomatoes, roughly chopped
    300 ml low-salt lamb or veg stock (such as Kallo), made with a cube
    1 kg aubergines, cut into 1cm slices
    3 red peppers, quartered and de-seeded
    300 g readymade watercress sauce
    2 large egg yolks
    80 g Caerphilly cheese, crumbled

    Method:
    1 Preheat the oven to 220ºC, fan 200ºC, gas 7. Heat a large non-stick frying pan and cook the lamb on a high heat in batches, ensuring you get a good golden crust on the mince.
    2 Transfer each batch to a bowl, then clean the pan. Sweat the onions for 10 minutes, covered. Add the cinnamon and garlic, and cook for a minute. Add the tomatoes and stock to the onions, then transfer the mixture to a saucepan. Cover and cook for 40 minutes. Leave to cool
    3 Meanwhile, place the aubergines and peppers on 2 baking trays, brush with oil and season. Cook in the oven for 45 minutes, swapping the trays round halfway through.
    4 Remove the aubergines and peppers from the oven and reduce the temperature to 200ºC, fan 180ºC, gas 6. Assemble the moussakas in 2 x 2 litre ovenproof dishes. Divide half the lamb mixture and all the tomato mixture between the 2, layer over the aubergines and peppers and spoon over the remaining lamb. Mix together the watercress sauce and egg yolks and drizzle over the top. Crumble over the cheese and bake one for 40 minutes.
    5 To freeze the other dish, cool it completely and freeze for up to 1 month. Defrost and cook as before, or cook from frozen, doubling the cooking time. Check that it's piping hot in the middle before serving

    I've done something similar but using lamb chops complete with the bone - when casseroled the meat just falls off the bones. Also use celery and carrots. This would probably work with rabbit too.

    Chris
    Your recipe suggestion sounds delicious.
    My dear mum used to make a wonderful lamb casserole and the meat did just that ... fall off the bone. Yum!

    I love braised celery
    I love a stick of celery too - great with a mackerel dip / pate or some cream cheese.

    Mainly we had leg of lamb - my father was fond of New Zealand lamb. Roasted with roast potatoes, and a couple of other veggies especially brussels sprouts and carrots. Then we would have it cold, then mother made what she called "lamb tart" in pastry, like a shepherd's pie, with the minced remains.

    I still miss those roast spuds but I still have the memory.

    More spring lamb for me tomorrow, probably chops grilled with rosemary, and purple sprouting if I can get any, or broccoli if not. On the way home I'll drive past the sheep farm and drool at the newborn lambs.

    Recipe suggestion using minced lamb ...

    Minted lamb kofta and halloumi skewers with minted cucumber yogurt

    Lamb Lamb and more Lamb Recipe Ideas to Share! - Page 3 Compressed_Minted-lamb-kofta-and-halloumi-skewers-593

    Ingredients
    Serves 4
    2 red onions
    500g lamb mince
    125g halloumi, cut into 16 pieces
    ½ tbsp ground cumin
    3 tsp dried mint
    ¼ tsp crushed chilli flakes
    2 cloves of garlic, crushed
    5 vine ripened tomatoes, halved and finely sliced
    1 tbsp lemon juice
    1 tsp red wine vinegar
    1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    250g Greek-style natural yogurt
    ¼ cucumber, seeds scooped out and chopped

    Method
    1. Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a small pan. Dice 1 of the red onions and add it to the pan. Cook over a medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until softened but not coloured, then remove to a plate to cool.
    2. Place the lamb mince in a bowl and combine with the cumin, 2 tsp mint, chilli, garlic and cooled onion. Season to taste, then shape into 24 ovals. Place 3 of these on each skewer with 2 pieces of halloumi inbetween. Cover and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.
    3. Meanwhile, slice the second red onion. Combine with the tomatoes, lemon juice, red wine vinegar and olive oil, then season to taste and set aside. Combine the yogurt with the cucumber and remaining mint, then set aside.
    4. Once the lamb skewers have chilled, heat a griddle pan over a medium/high heat. Brush the remaining oil over the skewers and place on the griddle pan (you may need to do this in two batches). Cook for 3 minutes on each side or until just cooked through and keep warm.
    5. Once all the kebabs are cooked, divide them between 4 plates and top with the tomato salad and the cucumber yogurt.

    Each serving provides:
    13.4g carbohydrate 3.2g fibre 33.4g protein 39.3g fat

    A most colourful plate of food - this carrot and tarragon mash is vibrant in both colour and flavour and complements the hearty mustard-coated lamb chops well. A plateful of colour for a grey and dismal day, well it's tasty on any day, no matter what the weather!

    Ingredients:
    Serves Four
    750g (1 1/2lb) carrots, chopped into 2.5cm (1in) pieces
    1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus 1 tsp for frying
    1 tbsp butter
    2 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
    8 lamb chops
    1 tbsp Dijon mustard
    balsamic vinegar, to serve

    Method:

    Cook the carrots in a pan of boiling water for 15 minutes, or until softened; drain. Tip the carrots back into the pan and return to the cooling hob to dry.

    Add 1 tbsp oil, the butter and 1 tbsp tarragon to the pan; season well. Crush with a masher, then cover to keep warm.


    Meanwhile, rub the chops with the mustard and scatter over the remaining tarragon. Brush a griddle or frying pan with 1 tsp oil and put over a medium-high heat, until hot.


    Fry the chops for 5-7 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil and set aside for 10 minutes to rest. Serve with the mashed carrots and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

    I determined to have lamb this week but the butcher had sold out of lamb chops! The Horror! Still I bought a couple of slices of lamb's liver and a huge hunk of steak.

    Lamb Lamb and more Lamb Recipe Ideas to Share! - Page 3 Lemony-Lamb-Chops

    Lemony Lamb Chops - Grilled

    Lamb is usually a very tasty meat, but can be expensive. We don't eat it too often - perhaps a lovely Roast Lamb Sunday Lunch or a recipe like this below. I often look out for special offers at the supermarket, Farmer's Market or butcher ... depending on where I maybe shopping!

    If you'd like to give this recipe a try, here is what you will need.
    Ingredients:
    Using 12 small chops
    1/4 cup olive oil
    1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
    1 tbsp. fresh thyme - or rosemary if preferred
    1 pinch salt
    1 pinch black pepper
    12 lean lamb loin chops
    cooking spray

    Directions:
    1. In small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
    2. In shallow baking dish, place lamb chops and brush with seasoned olive oil. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
    3. Preheat grill to high. Lightly coat grill grate with cooking spray. Place lamb chops on grill, and discard marinade. Cook 10 minutes, turning once, until internal temperature reaches 145°F. (Meat is cooked through)

    Nutrition Information:
    Per serving (x12)
    173 calories; .5g carbohydrates; 0g fibre; 3g saturated fat; 14g protein; 46mg sodium

    Obviously amend amounts to suit your needs.

    Hmmm, hadn't thought of lamb and lemon.

    I have a chump chop and was going to do what I usually do - grill it on top of a couple of sprigs of rosemary then turn it over onto a couple more rosemary sprigs, and scran it down with some seasonal green veggies.

    Maybe I'll try squeezing half a lemon over it too.

    My father always had mint sauce with his lamb. I don't bother because I OD'd on it when I was young.

    I remember him once driving past a field of sheep on the South Downs, winding down the car window and bellowing

    "Mint sauce!"

    "That'll keep them on their toes", he observed.

    Lamb and Swede/Rutabaga Hotpot


    Lamb Lamb and more Lamb Recipe Ideas to Share! - Page 3 Lamb-and-swede-hotpot-

    Lamb and root vegetables make the best layered hotpot and this recipe is so simple to make.

    Ingredients:
    Serves Four
    1 tbsp. olive oil
    1 large red onion, thinly sliced
    2 garlic cloves, chopped
    4 lamb leg steaks, bone in, or loin chops
    4 fresh thyme sprigs, plus extra to garnish
    2 tsp corn-flour
    100ml red wine
    2 tbsp. cranberry jelly or sauce
    1 (about 650g) swede/rutabaga, halved and very thinly sliced
    200ml fresh lamb stock, hot
    1 tsp butter

    Method:
    1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole over a medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beginning to turn golden. Season and remove from the heat.
    2. Top the onion mixture with the lamb and thyme, and season again. Dissolve the corn-flour in a little of the wine, then stir in the rest of the wine and the cranberry jelly or sauce. Pour over the lamb.
    3. Arrange the slices of swede/rutabaga on top, then pour over the stock. Dot with the butter, then cover and transfer to the oven. Bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for a further 15 minutes or until the swede/rutabaga has coloured on top. Serve garnished with extra thyme, if you like.

    Note:
    This dish can be made with ready-cut cubes of lamb but choosing a chop or steak with the bone in will give extra flavour.

    "Trim off any excess fat on the lamb"

    Have you gone completely insane??? It's the best part . . . good to see coconut oil in a mainstream recipe though.

    Ah … yes!
    Some love the fat while others still like to trim it.
    I quite like the fat kept on …

    Interesting about lamb rump steak here, and it looks a great cut in the picture they've used ...
