G'Day Bruces!:becky:
Sorry about the delay in getting this post up. I was pretty upset about what's going to be the entry photo for the "Lamb" TD... Full disclosure being that I was absolutely sh!tfaced when I took the plating pics. I hadn't planned to be, but during the day I had a few glasses of wine (as you will see) and right at the end I had a neighbor pour me two serious glasses of scotch and I'm not as able to absorb all that any more now I'm less than 170#. :icon_blush:
I was wanting to do it all over again, but never got the chance so I have to go with this one.:tsk:
Well, in the beginning everything was fine. I had it all together with the spices, onions, and some very nice EVOO!
And marinaded the lamb shoulder in this for 3 days!
On it went with some Banksia wood for smoke!
Cuppla nice shots here after it was on at 300F for about 3 hours.
I found this old bottle of wine I'd had for a very long time. I thought it would be terrible but needed it for the next step. As a matter of fact, it was outstanding :shock: and I started sipping away at this.
From here it went into the cabinet smoker for a few hours until it was about 200ish.
Then it rested in a cooler for a few hours till dinner. Made the salads and all the other things... specifically a pumpkin mash which I had a lot of pics of as well.... But this is when I started to go off the rails with the bottle of wine and those Scotches!:crazy:
Sooooo... much later... absolutely HAMMERED.. I pulled the Lamb.
And this was the salad plate:
You can see where I was trying to go with this. Have a nice base of pumpkin puree, a super pretty salad and a tantalizing tower of pulled lamb on the top for your eyes to feast on...
Instead:
I got 2 very ordinary shots...
But the leftovers looked pretty good.
And how was it?
Well, I'm told it was absolutely awesome.... but my memory is a little hazy.:sorry:
I had some for dinner the next night and it was pretty good!
Thanks for looking... I did write down the recipe if you want it... It is certainly worth doing again but without the friendly neighborly assistance next time.
Cheers!
