I just stopped by for the first time...blog surfing. I really like your blog. I even had to read some past posts. I'm finding many similarities between your farm and ours. I have been thinking of getting sheep again and this recipe makes me want our own lamb again. I will be back.
Sounds good. I go back and forth between trying to make new stuff so they don't get bored, and thinking they are lucky I'm feeding them at all and they shouldn't complain about boredom.
Yum, yum, yum!
I will test it.
I love lamb so much! It is hard to buy it around here that isn't imported from NZ though. Back in the day there was nothing like a leg of lamb with garlic slivers slipped into slices in the outside and lots of salt and pepper before cooking. My grandma used to make it for Sunday dinner and it was my favorite dish.
cheesychick,
Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm glad you enjoyed the blog - I'll be sure to check yours out when I get a chance - I love my sheep....as you know there is nothing like your own fresh, lamb :) Hope you stop in again :)
christy,
Lol....you have the right idea. They should feel lucky we feed them at all! I have to admit I get a little bored myself so trying something new is good for me as well :)
Doris,
Please let me know if you give it a try :)
threecollie,
I never liked the taste of lamb until I raised my own. I know, that makes me quite the snob :) I love to roast a leg, fill the slices with garlic, rub with rosemary & olive oil. Yummmmmm :)
I too, like to search for new recipes. I really enjoy when my bloggy friends post recipes they like. So THANK YOU!

You can try making a curry. You can find Indian curry paste online or in a Middle Eastern store. It's so easy and tastes like you have worked all day. All you add is a few tablespoons of the curry paste, can of tomatoes and then yummy, yummy for your family's tummies! Serve with rice.
Linda,
Your wecome :)
YJRA,
Thanks for the tip - we love curry. I will definately look up a few recipes.
I love lamb. Sigh. Now I want a nice lamb dinner. Oh well.
I have never eaten much lamb and the lamb I have eaten was delicious. This inspires me to try cooking it. It looks so good.
