"Once you understand the foundation of cooking - whatever kind you like, whether its French, Italian, or Japanese - you really don't need a cookbook anymore."

– Thomas Keller

Lamb

Minced Lamb with Ginger, Hoisin, and Green Onions

Served with steamed rice, this dish is a tasty way to enjoy ground lamb. The hoisin, ginger, and green onions all play well with the flavor of the lamb. This dish can also be served with lettuce leaves for a ‘salad in the hand’ experience.

Roasted Leg of Lamb*

A dish for normally reserved special occasions, leg of lamb can be served anytime in many different ways.  It can be crusted with a variety of savory ingredients such as yogurt, herbed breadcrumbs, dried mushrooms, fennel, or mustard, or it can be stuffed with some of the same ingredients.  Well-done or rare, leg of lamb is a delicious treat.  Serve with canellini beans for an Italian flair, chickpeas for a taste of Greek, or mashed potatoes for the American experience.    

Lamb Steaks with Green Olive Tapenade

Lamb steaks are stuffed with green olive tapenade and seared to the desired degree of doneness-we recommend medium rare. Served with cumin roasted beets or a salad with roasted beets and oranges and enjoy the flavors of the Mediterranean.

Greek-Style Lamb Pita Sandwiches with Tzatziki Sauce

Street food served at its best! Ground lamb is cooked with garlic, herbs, and spices, stuffed into warm pita bread and served with a garlicky yogurt sauce. A simple green salad is all that’s needed to complete this meal.

 Lamb Braised with Garlic and Fresh Herbs
