One Pot Meals

I grill Lamb all the time, my favorite is to take a boneless leg unwrap it and lay it out flat. Rub all sides heavily with minced garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil them wrap it back up with rosemary and thyme sprigs in the center and put it on the rotisserie, simply Amazing!

Grilled layer out flat is great too!

My wife has a strange and unhealthy dislike of lamb. As such I never cook it since it's only me who would eat it. So these days I mostly ever have lamb if we go out some place and I see it on the menu. You should see the dirty looks she gives me when I eat it lol

Couple years ago we spent a few days in Portland as the guests of a fly fishing club I spoke at. One night her and I found one of those Brazilian steakhouses that comes around and serves various cuts of meat. Everything they served was fantastic, but it was the lamb that I couldn't get enough of. Poor server probably wore out her feet coming back around to bring me more lamb on a constant basis. I was quite proud of the damage I did that night, my wife not so much lol.

Lamb might be my favorite meat out there. I have a love/hate relationship with the amazing lamb dinner pics Brian has posted. I love living vicariously through him, and I hate that I am so jealous lol

I'm thankful my wife loves lamb. In fact her love got worse when I took her to Scotland. Now she wants to raise some with our veal calves and pigs.

Now my wife has a hate for lobster, shrimp, and prawns. Outside of Dublin Prawns we had in Ireland she can't stand them. Not sure what is different about Dublin Prawns that makes them so much different. But they are really tasty and a very different texture. I think she ate half of my appetizer,, which was quite a lot.

When we first started dating my wife wouldn't eat really any fish or seafood, beyond like Skippers fish and chips and popcorn shrimp and stuff like that. Over the years I cured her of most of that and now she is quite the fish snob lol

When it comes to meat she's one of those who takes issue with eating certain animals simply because they are cute. Drives me absolutely nuts. She also won't eat any meat on the bone because she says it reminds her that she is eating a carcass. My wife is probably the toughest person I know. Far tougher than most men in many ways, and I love that about her. But with certain weird things she is quite squeamish.
 
Nick, does she just not like the taste has an issue eating a baby animal?

If it's a taste issue try the braised lamb shanks as it's not as strong of a flavor after cooking in a whole bottle of wine LOL.

If it's the other, we'll just tease her by saying "I'm so delicious " in a baby lamb voice! 🤣

Lamb can have a real gamey taste that some folks don't like. Trimming excess fat, that unlike some beef cuts, doesn't add a lot of desired flavor, and using steak (or pork) rubs, or braising reduces that gamey taste... no mint jelly required.

Oh its definitely not the taste. It's the cute baby animal part. If I was willing to gamble with my life I'd serve her some without telling her what it was. I know she'd love it. But then once she found out, well, that would be the end of me lol

And I tease her like that all the time haha
 
Baby animals, baby vegetables....
They go good together.

We had veal last night.
 
I love Yotam Ottolengi’s style of cooking. His dishes remind me of the food my Macedonian grandmother prepared. Google Ottolenghi One Pot Wonders. I like his Bolognese with Harisa recipe, with the pasta baked with the sauce. The lamb pilaf with sour plums is also very good. However, if you don’t like following a recipe they probably aren’t for you…
