Lamb Chops with Salsa Verde and Rioja Beans
I know, a big pile of lamb chops and a big pot of beans aren’t really on the strict path of the straight-and-narrow with regards to the healthy eating that we are trying to do over the next few weeks, but we need to ease ourselves in slowly. The beans were quite low in fat, […]
Read More..>>Slow Roast Lamb Shanks with Butterbeans
While investigating how to cook butterbeans earlier this week, Stephen came across this recipe for lamb shanks. Although we didn’t use it at the time, we bookmarked it and used it today. The recipe calls for a leg of lamb but we used lamb shanks instead, halved the quantities of everything else and reduced the […]
Read More..>>Lamb Chops with Tomatoey Butterbeans
As regular readers may have noticed, we don’t use a lot of beans in our cooking. You would find that hard to believe if you were to peer into our cupboards though as we’re fairly well stocked in the bean and pulse area. In order to make some room for the inevitable over-stocking of cupboards […]
Read More..>>Roast Lamb Neck Fillets with Redcurrant Sauce
On the way home from visiting Kerri’s mum this afternoon, we wandered into the supermarket looking for some lamb to roast, but we couldn’t find any likely candidates. There were no leg cuts, and the shoulders would have taken too long to cook. But then we saw lamb neck fillets. We haven’t had them for […]

Although we somehow missed the television show, we recently purchased Anjum Anand’s “Indian Food Made Easy” after drooling over it in the book shop. I haven’t really eaten a lot of Indian food but Stephen is a big fan and has been encouraging me to acquaint myself with the cuisine and learn about the methods […]

We’ve started cheating with our photographs. We’ve bought one of these. It’s magical. It makes it seem like daylight when it’s clearly night time. Now we just have to become good at photography to make good use of it. Anyway, back to the food, which is what this is all about. We cooked lamb chops […]
Read More..>>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. Kerri 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 milk and […]

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. Seeing […]
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, Stephen 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 still trying […]
