Lambs.
Cute. Frolicky.
Delicious.
I like to eat a lot of different species. Is that so wrong? I’m not content with white potatoes, chicken, beef, and (if you’re lucky) pork. So I hauled my butt down to the local meat market (we actually still have one around here and I’d like to keep them in business) and bought an obscene amount of leg of lamb. I made an intense roux, and mashed in some roast eggplant, more or less following this recipe.
Of course I had to modify it a bit. The recipe called for lamb shoulder, but the market only had leg, so I switched from braising to roasting (seemed to be the M.O. with this cut). But the eggplant paste-crap (say it in French at it will sound good, i swear) was one of the coolest food things I’ve ever done. Delicious and fun to make. Anyone else do lamb out there?
