7 Luscious Lamb Recipes
February 27, 2013Try versatile, deliciously flavoured lamb, and it’ll quickly become a staple of your home menu. Enjoy one of these seven creative yet simple recipes this week.
1. Slow-Cooker Burgundy Lamb Shanks
Some cuts of meat are meant to be grilled fast; others are best simmered for hours. In this recipe, lamb shanks, wine, vegetables, and herbs simmer for eight hours to reach delicious levels of taste and tenderness.
2. Baked Lamb-Stuffed Zucchini
Baked lamb is delicious. In this tasty dish, minced lamb is mixed with fragrant flavourings, then baked inside zucchini.
3. Greek-Style Baked Lamb and Eggplant
Few cooking traditions embrace lamb as much as Greek. Fresh herbs, tomatoes, and plentiful garlic make this lovely baked entrée taste uniquely Mediterranean.
4. Country Lamb and Vegetable Cobbler
Lamb has a stronger flavour than other meats, so a small amount goes a long way. This hearty one-dish meal has more vegetables than meat, but the taste of lamb bursts through in every bite.
5. Hot Chili Lamb in Pita Pockets
How yummy is this? Thin lamb slices stir-fried with garlic, ginger, mint, and a little hot sauce, served inside toasty pita pockets. Hands-on food at its best!
6. Lamb Burgers with Fruity Relish
Have you ever tried a lamb burger? You may never look at a beef version the same after tasting this recipe, subtly flavoured with nutmeg and thyme, and topped with onions and grated carrots.
7. Marinated Lamb Kebabs with Grilled Vegetables
Lamb is particularly wonderful when grilled on your BBQ or stove-top. Add delectable cilantro, lime, mint, and cumin, for extra flavour that will have you loving this delicious entrée.
