Braised leg of lamb

tule peak timber · February 24, 2019, 08:31:58 PM

It's Sunday , there is a little snow on the ground, and this dish takes 7 hours to cook.We start with a big leg of lamb and brown it on the BBQ with bacon fat.The browning throws a lot of spatter so we do it outside avoiding cleanup.

Next step is to gather fresh cardoon from the garden and assemble the spices and liquids.

Pack it tight and add beer and chicken broth.This leg is about 8 pounds.

7 hours later the meat cuts like butter. Cheers

Did somebody say leg of lamb? I'll be right over. 8) I would not want it all the time but it is a special treat.

We are lucky to have some clients that raise animals for us. Not store bought !

I enjoy cooking and feed the crew when I can. Infrequently I cook big spreads for Veteran groups and wood related visitors. Food is a good thing , and I like to share it

Looks fantastic! That Wolf in the background is the Rolls Royce ranges. Lamb is one of my favs, if you ever get any lamb chops, get a couple of fresh lemons, oregano, lawrys garlic salt, dust both side with the garlic salt and oregano, I use charcoal but gas would work, cook and turn to a internal temp of 145, squeeze lemon juice over both sides just before you pull, guaranteed huge hit..

Your lamb recipe sounds terrific. I actually cook on wood outdoors probably 5 days a week most times of the year, smoked salmon last night.
As far as the Wolf, it is worth every penny. You know the old saying"happy wife -happy life'. This is my second Wolf range ,,,,and come to think of it ,,,,my second wife. :D

BTW - Is leg of lamb off the back leg (the hams) or is it a shoulder? That first picture looks like a back leg to me. I was probably 35 years old before I ever ate any lamb. It was not readily available in N. Fla where I was raised.
