Herb crusted rack of Lamb, on sauteed potatoes and a red wine and rosemary sauce, with my own home-cured lamb bacon on puy lentils. And a chive 'thing' just in case a certain PHer called "Appleyard" is lurking...

Looks great. Competition is going to be strong for this one.

Shabdeg (Mughlai Lamb with Turnips), Tarka Dahl & Green Beans

Ingredients


Method

Lamb removed from the bone and cut into chunks, onions cut, garlic chopped, turnips peeled & salted and purhaps one of the better bits, the lamb fat rendered down to cook in and the leftover scratchings.

Served
with a tarka dahl (BatleyBoys recipe from here and green beans.


The turnips soften in the yogurt and spice sauce absorbing the juices of the lamb. The browned onions also add a unique flavour. A rich lamb stew with a complex flavour enhanced by the turnips. One of my favourite meals.

Didn't have time to smoke mine -but cured it anyway.

Well worth the effort. Puy lentils with some fried onion and a knob of butter with the salty lamb was special. I'll do this again.

Looks good

Last week commissioned the build of an oil-drum BBQ.

I spent all week working on the lamb, marinading etc.

Then spent all day sorting the BBQ into readyness.

(I think this was defining moment of my FAIL)....spen all afternoon in the sun drinking Cider.

Cooked a monumental butterfly lamb leg.

Sliced, served, eaten..... Then remembered the camera. Bo-de-locks.

Although I'm not sure it would have come anywhere near the dishes above anyway...

we had leftovers last night but changed the veg to carrot salad and broccoli and served with home made garlic and coriander naan. Tastes just as good second time round

It's delicious. I've eaten it in New Zealand along with lamb 'ham'. Again, lovely.

So easy to do. -I didn't use belly, given I didn't need much for the dish I just boned a couple of lamb chops and used those. -The soaking bit is important. It is too salty when it comes out of the cure initially. Just wish I'd had time to smoke it.
