"Two steaks and a lamb burger".

Oh, and a border collie checking on progress.

[Tickle]

After being away in Greece for a week I thought I would continue the food theme so...Lamb shoulder marinaded in garlic, lemon zest, rosemary, oregano and Metaxa. Potatoes and Greek salad to accompany.









Note: Lack of Olives in the salad is due to Mrs Tickle being against them... strange Woman!

Very nice Tickle.

[Blown2CV]

Greek stuff: v good. No halloumi?! I could eat Greek food every day.

[Tickle]

Cheers Guys,

No, no halloumi just feta (this was from a block we bought at the airport and brought back, it just managed to stay cool!)

The potatoes were the usual roast in oil, lemon and water technique (Pferdestarke told me a more technical term for this) but I added the bone from the lamb shoulder and fatty off cuts. They were bang on!

Greek food eaten outside is one of the simple pleasures in life.

We have a family allotment, in the next few weeks we will be on a diet of tomatoes as there are so many. So sweet this time of the year too.

Obviously I mean toss the chicken after you've fried it in th sauce which you warm through in a pan. We do want any oil burns now do we!!

Edited by Pferdestarke on Friday 3rd July 13:11

What's the double fry process and why is this different to just frying extensively?

Thx

It's optional obviously. The second fry seems to crisp up more, due mainly to the slight increase in temp after removing the food. Plus, I did it in two batches with the second final fry with the first two batches added so that it was all the same temp.

Awesome thanks.

Would love to know the recipe for your sauce on those wings above!

Those potatoes look fantastic, I'm assuming they're cooked in the same roasting tin/casserole dish as the lamb?

Cheers,

They were cooked in a tray filled with about 1/2" of water and lemon juice and a 1/4" of good quality olive oil. The Lamb was cooked over the barbecue, however I did use the bone from when I de-boned and butterflied the shoulder for the potatoes. I also added the fatty offcuts to the tray. The herbs were just oregano, thyme and quite a bit of sea salt.

Roast them uncovered and turn them occasionally. The water eventually evaporates and cooks the potatoes whilst the oil floats and soaks in on its way down.

[mattdaniels]

Quack!
