Those look delicious by MohammedNiyalSayeed (4.00 / 3) #1 Wed May 16, 2007 at 03:14:35 AM EST

I'll have a shawarma, to go, please.

Lamb Kebab by cam (4.00 / 2) #8 Wed May 16, 2007 at 07:09:00 AM EST

at 4am. Lamb mixed with blowfly never tasted so good.

Remembering to hold the kebab vertically to allow the grease to run out.

With garlic (no, not him) and rosemary.

How I do it by Herring (4.00 / 2) #3 Wed May 16, 2007 at 05:05:53 AM EST

Roughly mash up garlic & rosemary in a pestle & mortar with a little olive oil. Then stab holes in the lamb and poke the mixture in. Spread the rest over the outside and also a bit of oil and salt on the skin for cripsiness and great justice. Roast until meat thermometer indicates "rare" (20 minutes plus 15-20 minutes per pound).

That's very close to ours by Phage (4.00 / 1) #4 Wed May 16, 2007 at 05:21:11 AM EST

Same cooking time, but I put pieces of garlic and/or sprigs of rosemary into the stabulations, plus the oil and a little salt.

Last year we also made our own jell'es and chutneys. I can recommend a Rowan jelly with lamb and other slightly gamey meats.

Sounds good by Herring (4.00 / 2) #5 Wed May 16, 2007 at 05:38:52 AM EST

The recipe I want to try is where you put anchovies into the lamb. I haven't as yet because it would scare Mrs. H. If I were to do it, I'd freeze the anchovy fillets to make it possible to insert them.

I might try it on part of a joint next time I do a joint of lamb. Leg is a bit expensive to fuck up though.

: Anchovies ? by Phage (2.00 / 0) #7 Wed May 16, 2007 at 06:02:14 AM EST

Okaaaay.
Easier than freezing would be too cut a slice under the skin and insert the fillet like a fishy implant. I've done it with chicken and works well.

I'll try the garlic and rosemary by nebbish (2.00 / 0) #6 Wed May 16, 2007 at 06:01:47 AM EST

I use dripping instead of oil though. Great tasting meat, only problem is draining it off to make gravy with the juices.

You only need a small amount of oil by Herring (4.00 / 1) #9 Wed May 16, 2007 at 07:45:30 AM EST

just to lubricate the process as it were. And a tiny bit more to stick salt to the skin.

Things to do: Wander into a butchers, ask "Do you keep dripping?" if they say yes, say "Awkward, isn't it". That's right up there with phoning up Waterstones, and when they say "Can I help you" answer "No thanks, I'm just browsing".

I tend to use oil rather than dripping for roast veg because of SD being all veggie.

Veggies by nebbish (4.00 / 1) #10 Wed May 16, 2007 at 07:51:12 AM EST

Pain, aren't they? Nowt like roast potatoes done in animal fat.

Mind you, bet she'll outlive all the carnivores.

So did I by Herring (2.00 / 0) #15 Wed May 16, 2007 at 08:53:32 AM EST

Thanks for the reminder. Some days you have to love the BBC.

BTW, glad to see Multipost is working again.

It was replaced by ambrosen (2.00 / 0) #17 Wed May 16, 2007 at 09:17:37 AM EST

by Dead Ringers, a tribute to Tony Blair.

I don't even get that multiposting, I was actually using the computer, not the phone. Mind you, Safari is cack.

: Screw that by Herring (2.00 / 0) #18 Wed May 16, 2007 at 09:23:46 AM EST

I have never been a fan of Dead Ringers. Also the fact that most of their impressions open with "Hello, I'm <x>". Like the impression is so good, they have to tell us. Plus the woman who does the Clarrie Grundy impression is rubbish.

wipo: All of the above by wiredog (4.00 / 2) #11 Wed May 16, 2007 at 07:59:25 AM EST

Though I have no idea what Lancashire hotpot is.

Butterflied leg of lamb rubbed with olive oil that's had ground up rosemary and roast garlic steeped in it for a day or so for flavor. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on it. Cook on the charcoal grill. Yummers.

They're damn good with the caraway seeds on the outside 'n' everything, but the roast is still a clear winner.

: Actually, it was traditionally . . . by slozo (2.00 / 0) #22 Wed May 16, 2007 at 12:59:11 PM EST

. . . lamb, I think, then the other meats were added. It's become very popular in Asia/Eastern Europe/northern Middle East though, and lamb isn't always the cheapest.
I first had it in Latvia, in the mid '90s, and even found it in Scadanavia. Had it a few times in China at the many muslim restaurants, where they only served it as lamb or beef.
Done right, it's magnificent.
