Lamb, It's what's for Diner

[Joshw]

I don't see lamb around here often, so I was thrilled, when I seen this in the meat case.

Marinated it over night in olive oil, white wine, white wine vinegar, garlic, rosemary, thyme, marjoram, and S&P. Then gave it a coating of Q Salt, before putting it on the smoker.

Smoked at 225 until an IT of 140.

Roasted some brussels and radishes in bacon grease.

Let it rest for 30 minutes, then sliced.

Plated with some homemade tzatziki

It's been awhile, and I was not disappointed.
Thanks for looking!

Thanks Titch, that means a lot coming from the resident lamb expert.

Roasted radishes are new to me. I have done it a couple of times, since going on a keto diet. They taste similar, but not exactly like a new potato, once cooked, but they are much lower in carbs. I just trim the ends, and cut in half, then put them in a cast iron pan, drizzle with some bacon grease, or oil of your choice, and put in a 425 oven. Takes about 50 minutes. Salt and pepper, when they come out of the oven. Give it a try, changes the taste completely.

Not sure on the lamb expert, My Peers here are all extremely talented but thanks on the Radish, great Hint as my wife is on the same Diet as you, seems I default to it as well

Well then you should definitely give them a try.

I agree with Titch on the whole dish.

REALLY nicely marinaded... Just a shame it's been boned, but I suppose it makes for easy carving!

Interesting treatment of the radishes. I'll have to try. I'm full Keto too till I end up in a box, and radishes are totally outside my wheelhouse. From a Keto perspective I've been avoiding all root veg, but this might be worth a look.

Thanks.

There is only 1 carb or .5 net carbs per ounce of radishes, so they aren't that hard to fit into a keto diet. I don't think it is about doing without, but making the right choices.

The lamb is bone in, they removed the shank bone, I am assuming to make it take up less space, but the hip bone is still there.

Yes, it has been cold and windy, so I have been taking full advantage of the pellet life.

Psssst... the pellet life is also nice when it’s 100°+ outside [emoji27][emoji6]

Absolutely! In fact it is even better. I can take the cold, much more than the heat.

You are on a roll here lately! Dish looks fantastic! What recipe do you use for your tzatziki sauce?

The winging it one.

I grated a cucumber, added some salt, and let it sit for a few minutes, then squeezed it dry, and chopped.
Minced a few Tbsp of mint
Minced a few cloves of garlic
mixed in about a cup of Greek Yogurt
Juice of a lemon
S&P to taste
Let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours.

Thanks Jeanie, the cold is coming for sure, not sure on the ice, they are saying it could go either way. Spent the day trying to get as much done as possible, just in case.
