what to do with lamb neck

[The Major]

mums just brought round some lamb neck among other things.

but other than just frying it up and having it with chips I cant really think of what to do with it.

over to you.

Is it fatty like breast of lamb? If so cook it like that.

[The Major]

nope pretty lean. no fat atall actually

[Mobile Chicane]

Neck fillet?

Delia Smith's braised lamb with flageolets.

Billed as an 'autumn' dish, it's one of my favourite summer dishes, using the young beans, cherry tomatoes, savory, parsley etc which are in season now.

Noms.

In which case, cube and marinade in the juice and zest of a lemon, olive oil, thyme, garlic and chilli and kebab it.

Grill needs to be hotter than the sun.

might have to do that, sounds good. cheers

if its what i think it is, (neck fillet) i roll and tie then rub with olive oil, garlic, flakey salt, black pepper, lemon juice, honey, rosemary and thyme.

it then goes on the BBQ. Should be BBQd on the outside and rare in the middle. Leave it for a few mins then slice into fillets.

[Cotty]

Beaten to it. Yep goes well on the BBQ

Yep, neck fillet of lamb makes THE best kebabs. We usually cut it up into kebab sized pieces and marinade it with olive oil, parsley, lots of onions, salt and pepper but the one above sounds delicious too. They don't need to cook for long and will be delicious and tender.

We used to always get ours from our local butcher in the Yorkshire Dales and it was perfect. I once tried buying some from Tesco's and it was not nearly as nice. Can't find it anywhere in Indiana.

The man speaks the truth!

Similar to MCs suggestion of kebabs but with a carribean twist.

Marinade (for between 4 and 24hrs) cubed neck fillet in a mix of molasses sugar, pineapple juice and a splash of vinegar.

Kebab with pineapple, banana, onion and peppers.

Reduce the marinade mixture until its sticky.

BBQ the kebabs and use the mixture to baste
