Hi team,

I've decided that we're having lamb for Easter...have you got a favorite way to prepare it?

roast

slow roast in oven at a low temperature (225) to cook them through, and then finish off at a high temp (475) to sear the outside

I did a nice leg of lamb in my crock pot. After 8 hours it was the most tenderest thing in the world.

rack of lamb - frenched and chinned.

Cook with castiron skillet (500 degree oven, get skillet blazing, put on stove)
With the rack salt/peppered sear for a minute or two on each side.
Put back in oven with some rossmary twigs spinkeled around. Cook to 140 (about 12 minutes) - most chops will be medium-rare, the outer ones on the medium side.

Done and utterly delicious. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing individual chops.

Roasted with plenty of garlic, thyme, and rosemary, salt, and pepper on the rack.

I like mine a tad bit more done than medium rare. Delicious.

1) Cut holes into leg-of-lamb
2) Insert raw garlic cloves into each
3) Slowly cook on a spit over an open flame

omg, only 4 steps? it is madness.

You can go anywhere with a leg of lamb really. Just has to be low temp and long time - the meat will be so tender it melts in your mouth.

Rack of lamb on the other hand is a "fast cook" meat IMHO - very high penetrating temperature. It's the filet mignon of Lamb and should be cooked/treated as such.

I haven't met a lamb preparation I didn't like. Leg of lamb, chops, whole rack, Irish stew, Greek stew, souvlaki, doner/gyros/shawarma, whatever, I'll eat it!
