Lamb Shanks with Dauphinoise Potatoes
While browsing some of my favourite food blogs last week, I came across Pixie’s post about lamb shanks. I really wanted to make them there and then as they looked so good but it was a school night and I knew Stephen and I would want to eat as soon as we got home and […]
Read More..>>Roast Lamb
Today we decided on roast lamb for dinner. We didn’t have any anchovies and neither did any of our local shops so we bought some anchovy paste as an alternative and mixed it with rosemary and garlic before spreading on top of the lamb. It worked brilliantly and resulted in tender, tasty lamb. We also […]
Read More..>>Larry
I never knew Larry the Lamb when he was alive, but even if I had done, I don’t think I would have minded eating him anyway because he was very tasty indeed. Regular readers may remember our good friend Geraldine. Larry was next in line for being cooked on the excellent spit created by some […]
Read More..>>Lamb Chops with Red Onion Reduction
That sounds a bit “cheffy” doesn’t it but I don’t know what else to call this. We bought some lamb chops to eat last night but weren’t hungry enough and ended up eating cheese instead. We’d planned to have them tonight with sauteed potatoes but a friend of mine suggested this instead. Sautee some onions […]
Read More..>>Lamb Stuffed with Couscous
It was only last week that we tried lamb stuffed with couscous, but we decided to try it again as we had enjoyed it so much. Much the same this time: lamb fillets stuffed with a mixture of couscous (hydrated with chicken stock), pine nuts, parsely and mint with a sprinkle of cinnamon. We didn’t […]
Read More..>>Stuffed Lamb
I was out after work this evening so Stephen was in charge of dinner. I got home to the smell of something sweet and roasty which turned out to be roasted sweet potato. This was the accompaniment to some brilliant stuffed lamb fillets which he served with roasted red pepper and, of course, the sweet […]
Read More..>>Salt Marsh Lamb
Today we returned from a weekend in Suffolk where I played cricket (and we won!) and on the way back to London, dropped in at The Food Company at Marks Tey. There we picked up half a leg of salt marsh lamb (amongst other things) and cooked it when we got home. Kerri spiked the […]
Read More..>>Friends for Dinner
Last night, we had some friends over for dinner. We started with asparagus and the same dressing we made last week: Next, we had rosemary and garlic lamb, crushed new potatoes, fresh peas, runner beans and winter greens: And finally, elderflower jelly with summer fruits and vanilla ice-cream: The jellies, based on a Mark Hix […]
Read More..>>Lamb Kofta
Yesterday afternoon, while we were cooking lamb, we also made up some lamb kofta to have this evening. I like to have something quick and easy for a Monday evening, sort of a homemade ready-meal. I used the same recipe that I always do but the results weren’t so great. We used some new-season lamb […]
Read More..>>Rack of Lamb with Sauteed New Potatoes and Asparagus with Pine Nut and Herb Sauce
A long title today because it all deserved mention. We started with asparagus with a pine nut and herb sauce. It turned out as more of a relish than a sauce really. It contained pine nuts (obviously), red onion, parsely, mint, olive oil and vinegar. This went very well indeed with the asparagus; next time […]
