Wow. Those are some nice looking chops! :clap: Wait a minute! I took that pic way back in the day before I became a TD moderator and had time to post in Qtalk and compete in TD's. :mmph:

As chosen by Bluesman and dupemaster for their fabulous two-way win-win in the "Where's the Beef?" Throwdown.

CATEGORY DESCRIPTION - READ BEFORE ENTERING

Bluesman said:

I think we need to run with "Take It on the Lamb" Anything goes, chops, leg, roasts, burgers, Gyros as long as it's lamb. Lot's of choices here. And no special rules!

Well now. Let's try this again.

I hope to see some new takes on this theme. Excellent choice.

Moose · Oct 24, 2013

When I was a kid, my Mom used to make a wonderful roast leg of lamb, with delicious gravy from the meat drippings.

Just sayin'. :idea:

CharredApron · Oct 24, 2013

I am a sucker for a tasty lamb burger with goat cheese!

Bluesman · Oct 24, 2013

I have a recipe floating around that I have always wanted to try. I would like to use the drippings, but we'll see how it goes. I do know that this being a first time with this recipe and process will be an adventure as always. Let the fun begin....:biggrin1:

Moose · Oct 24, 2013

I imagine we'll have at least one or two Aussies in on this one, so expect some serious competition in this TD!

Thermal Mass · Oct 24, 2013

Hmmm, wonder if this would fit in the WFO?:shock:

:idea:

Diesel Dave · Oct 26, 2013

Flash_333 · Oct 26, 2013

Is it true that when you pour beer out of the bottle it comes out counter-clockwise downunder?!?! Very nice rack mate!

Inferno seared lemon herb lamb chops.

Last minute entry.
Like I said, Jed's cooking scared the pants off of me, but I cooked anyway.
Today I cooked Stuffed leg of lamb with a orange gravy.....
The double entry.

First open the leg up with some cuts into the meat.

Lamb, mushrooms, onion, garlic, parsley, spices, oranges and some bread.

Chop everything up, sauté the onions and garlic.

Toss in the mushrooms and cook until the liquid is gone. Add the bread, parsley, spices and orange zest.

Lay it all nice up in the leg.

Roll it tight and tie.
I put some of the trimmed fat across the top so it could render for the gravy and flavor the stuffing.

Like I said, Jed's cooking skills can sometimes scare the pants off of me, so I kept a good eye out for him.

My meat is done and will rest while I make the gravy.

Pour the drippings into a pan, make a rue and add some beef stock and reduce.

Add a chopped up orange

By the way, nice hat

BobBrisket · Oct 28, 2013

Working on the cook thread. I'll post it later on. How bout some lamb shoulder chops, some taters, and some super cheesy shells, and a couple fresh peppers from the garden? It was great.
