I'd like to eat the lamb pitas right now but voted for zep due to him introducing the new culinary religion that is lamb bacon.

I did think about pitas but as it had an indian theme I thought nan breads were a better bet.

It has to be 'Zep' this time, though well done all.

Partly for his Mr Maker 'Cotton bud creature' in the middle. hehe

Very difficult to choose.

But its Cotty for me, -like the idea of splitting the naans and shoving lots of spiced lamb in them.

I went for yours. Thats a very expensive cut of lamb and not something I would cook at home and it looks cooked to perfection.

Thanks Cotty.

No great art to it though.

Splodge together a big handful of chopped rosemary/parsley/mint, lug of olive oil, some breadcrumbs and some mustard. Press it onto the fleshy side after making a few slashes through the fat. Into the fridge for a couple of hours, the bung it in the oven at 200 deg C for 20ish mins, rest and serve.

And that 6 rib rack (having made a classy and suave dig about in the bin for the receipt) cost me £4.85. Comfortably enough for 2.

ETA -and garlic -in the herb mix. Just remembered.

eek I thought that was an expensive cut. My leg was £11, a half leg was £9 so I thought what the hell. I finished the rest at lunch today smile

I would have entered myself but with moving house and buying a restaurant in the same week time is a little thin on the ground.

Shredded lamb looks very good indeed, but Cap'n got my vote for the bacon alone!

I might get my lamb shoulder out of the freezer for this looooong weekend and shred it in a similar fashion

Thanks to all who voted for me.

The plate of food in the photo was eaten by my brother-in-law, (a similar one was eaten by me) and I'm happy to confirm that the consensus was it was a tasty dish.

Even more thanks go to the others who took part. Vanessa B, TomE, Cotty and Bob the Planner. -I feel a bit for Bob given the fact that decent home-made curries like his taste great -and yet the voting populous couldn't taste it to give it the votes it probably deserved.

Cotty, -a worthy opponent, nip and tuck during the week, -good dish.

Vanessa/Tom -I'm having a barbecue tomorrow, I wish I had your burgers on my grill...


-A pause whilst I think -and then the next ingredient(s) will be announced. smile
