Roast Lamb with Caper Sauce and Boulangere Potatoes
We don’t seem to have had roast lamb for a while, so chose it for today. Ginger cut little pockets into our lamb leg and stuffed them with garlic, rosemary and anchovies.
We also cooked boulangere potatoes, which are thinly sliced potatoes layered with thinly sliced onions and herbs and then cooked with [...]
Broad Bean, Pea and Mint Salad (with Lamb Chops)
The broad bean season is so short and we’re both big fans but for some reason we don’t tend to use them that often. Determined to do something interesting this week, we put them in the shopping basket on Saturday which forced me to spend some time looking at things to do with them. [...]
Read More..>>Birthday Barbecue
It was my Mum’s birthday on Friday (Happy Birthday Mum!) so yesterday we had a barbecue to celebrate. As well as the usual sausages and hamburgers, Fred expertly cooked some garlic and rosemary lamb chops and some chicken which we’d marinated in a sticky barbecue sauce:
We served this with tabbouleh and flatbreads and a [...]
Read More..>>Lamb Chops and Sauteed Potatoes
A quick and easy meal this evening using up some lamb chops from the (vastly over-filled) freezer. The lamb chops were really good but the potatoes slightly disappointing, we used the leftovers from Friday’s roast chicken which made great roast potatoes but were sadly too floury for sauteed potatoes. More vegetables as we’re [...]
Read More..>>Lamb Rump and Champ
We had lots of potatoes and cabbage to use up this week and when we found some spring onions lurking in the fridge, the sensible option seemed to be to make champ. It’s a rather wintery dish for this time of year but it worked brilliantly with the lamb. The spring onions really [...]

Cassoulet is one of those dishes that has attained a somewhat mythical aura over the years and people are sometimes surprised or disappointed that there is no “authentic” single recipe for such an iconic dish, but rather that various people or regions have different versions of it. It is of course a dish of [...]

Fred’s family came to visit on Saturday and we’d originally planned to barbecue a leg of lamb since we’d enjoyed it so much last time. Unfortunately, the weather let us down so we opted to cook Jamie’s lamb shoulder again. This time, as there were so many of us, we got to use [...]
Read More..>>Lamb Chops and Sauteed Potatoes
We seem to have had lamb rather often lately and in the interests of cooking varied meals, I should have chosen something else when I found myself in an indecisive mood in the butcher’s. But the new season spring lamb was too good to resist and I ended up leaving with two double loin [...]
Read More..>>Barbecued Lamb Leg
Because of the the brilliant weather we’ve had lately, we just had to barbecue. Recently a colleague was telling me about a leg of lamb that he had cooked on the barbecue and how good it was, so when Ginger suggested the same thing, it just had to be done.
We had a half leg [...]
Barbecue!
It was 20 degrees on Saturday so we thought it was about time we dusted off the barbecue and put it to work. We spent most of last week deciding what to cook but settled on lamb chops since they’re our favourite thing to eat from the barbecue. We marinated them in parsley, [...]
