Easter Lamb
Spring has officially arrived! Nobody will be giving us funny looks for
grilling with snow on top of our heads anymore, so that's a good thing.
Lately I have been in such a "Chop" mood when it comes to cooking. Call
it a bone in craze. Last year I couldn't stop stuffing flank steaks,
pork loins, turkey and veal. Now, I want a thick cut Berkshire Chicago
Cut Pork Chops brushed with some sundried tomato influenced olive oil,
touch of fresh basil, sea salt and cracked black pepper. Can you blame
me? Post your favorite thing to grill this spring or ask any question on
any cut of meat or recipe here.
So my love of chops has brought upon my simple grilled lamb porterhouse
chop recipe. My favorite lamb comes from Iowa. Fed with hearty natural
grain and not strong tasting in the least bit. If you don't like lamb
because of eating it out, I suggest to cook it yourself. American lamb
is more expensive than New Zealand lamb but you will notices a
difference in taste and tenderness. Still can't do lamb? A item to put
with your holiday ham is a stuffed turkey roll with spinanch and feta
cheese. (Amazing how I can't stop stuffing roasts). Go to your favorite
butcher shop, and they will roll out a breast for you! You can even cut
lamb chops in half thickness wise and serve them as an appetizer. If you
need any help with any cut of lamb like lamb shanks (slow roasted with
stock), lamb rib racks (seared with truffle oil), leg of lamb (panchetta
garlic crust) or pulled lamb shoulder (using rye beer), be sure to ask.
Keep on cooking, my meatheads!
