Deb fancies trying some lamb and doesn't know how best to cook it, so come on everyone - let's have your favourite recipes. I'll have a freezer full soon and would appreciate some new ideas too!

Personally I think simple is best, but then I'm usually in a hurry! Tonight we had chops done in an oven dish covered with chopped tinned tomatoes and chives and rosemary from outside the back door. I also like roast lamb sprinkled with a little salt and the skin pierced so that sprigs of rosemary or cloves of garlic can be inserted.

We don't have lamb that often as sadly it's a bit too expensive for me,

Even when we do, it's usually only roasted with rosemary and garlic.

Although, adding redcurrants can make a nice addition. Wink

Lancashire hotpot

peel and thinly slice some potatoes
Use a third to cover the bottom of a casserole dish
next layer is lamb chops or lamb steaks
then a layer of carrots
repeat with another layer of potatoes, chops and carrots
add stock to level with the top
Finish with another layer of potato

Cook with a lid on for 2 and a half hours then remove lid for half an hour.

The top layer of potato goes really crispy
Takes ages to slice everything up but it's worth it

In my pre veggie days I remember lots of stabbing a leg of lamb and poking in sprigs of rosemary and chunks of garlic before roasting it... yummy! Wink

My SIL did one of Delia's recipe's for a roast leg of lamb with lots of roast veggies too - think it used a bottle of red wine as well Rolling Eyes

The OH raved about it... here we go:

I love lamb. We have a lamb farmer and always get a lamb for the freezer! its so yummy. We tend to have to roasted with rosemary and garlic ( like most), or the casserole is yummy too.

This is one of my Dad's recipes :

get a leg or shoulder of Lamb

Mix together equal amounts of ground ginger and salt and pepper and rub all over - place in roasting dish

Pour cider over and up to about an inch up the side

spread the skin side with honey and put on Rosemary - as much or little as you like

Roast on hot for 20 minutes (lid off ) which in my oven is about 220 - then reduce to about 170/ 180 & cover for the rest of the cooking time - we do about 2hrs - but we like it well done with this recipe - is usually very tender and falling off the bone

Gravy made with the juices is lovely too
