Lamb Anyone

[NewWine]

Hey Ya'll I was just sitting here watching one of my favorite shows 'Barefoot Contessa' and saw this lamb recipe. I really love lamb but don't know of too many ways to cook it. Do any of you have any lamb recipe's?

Thanks

[Timmy]

We hardly ever have lamb, but I really don't know why. Habit, I think. Thanks for the reminder: I think we'll get us some lamb, next shopping trip! :)

[Esther]

I have never cooked lamb.

[Sam]

I like lamb chops but it's an awful lot of bone with not much meat.

I also like lamb in those gyro sammitches

[NewWine]

Yeah!!! Gyro's are good. I'll have to start looking for a recipe

problem is, that sauce tends to run down from the bottom of the sandwich and down my arm.

Does anyone have any idea how the fat content of that processed lamb/beef combination compares to just beef or lamb?

I don't know what that comparison would come out to (maybe I will take some time and look it up soon) but I do know that whatever it is... goat has a better rating than either.

Or possum?
Or squirrel?
Or pig?
Or duck?
Or pheasant?
Or groundhog?

I've tried octopus (too chewing, didn't like the taste, not cool with the purple), duck (didn't like that either), squid (had calamari, it was palatable), and that's the extent of my journey beyond the world of chicken and beef. I did do some searching for a gyo's recipe, and I did see some that used steak strips. I may give it a try. Here is the recipe if anyone is interested. Maybe if I get this right I might try to use some lamb.

MINUTE STEAK GYROS (http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1726,148171-239202,00.html)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
3/4 tsp. leaf oregano, crumbled
1/2 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground allspice
2 minute steaks (10 oz.), cut crosswise into 2 x 1/4 inch strips
2 tsp. oil
2 lg. pita breads, cut in half
Combine garlic, oregano, coriander, salt and allspice in small bowl. Pat minute steaks dry on paper towel. Add steaks to spice mixture. Cook steaks in oil skillet over medium heat until medium rare; 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon into pita. Garnish with cucumber. Serve with Yogurt Sauce.
YOGURT SAUCE:
1/2 c. low fat plain yogurt
1/4 c. chopped cucumber
1 tbsp. chopped onion
1/2 tsp. chopped fresh mint
1/4 tsp. salt
Combine yogurt, cucumber, onion, mint and salt. Serve over your favorite sandwich. Excellent on gyros.

I have eaten squirrel, pig, and duck. I actually cooked the duck.

I've never eaten possum or squirrel.

I don't know if I've eaten goat or not. One day I had lunch with some migrant Hispanic workers they'd brought from home. I have no idea what that meat was. This was over 50 years ago but I think they said it was goat.

I've eaten pig meat --ham, pork

I've eaten pheasant, rabbit, and pigeon that others had brought home from hunting and my Mother or Grandmother fixed.

My mother used to fix duck at times for Thanksgiving. I've also had it in a restaurant.

One guy I used to work with used to hunt groundhogs. He called them whistle pigs. He brought some in to work one day and I had a drumstick. It was dark and tasted like pheasant.

I've also had venison. I had an uncle who lived in a log house in rural northern Wisconsin in the woods and they ate deer regularly.

Nova, I've never heard of that before. Nothing wrong with eating lamb as it was eaten in the bible. Perhaps you could expound more about what exactly you were taught.
