Minted Lamb

[spathiphyllum]

i want some minted lamb chops but the butchers only have shanks

Does anyone have any advice on what i should do? Nicebloke maybe? ;)

A lamb shank is an acceptable substitute, short term.

Buy mint and marinate yourself.

[ummmm]

I'd serve the mint sauce on the side. I'm not a fan of marinated meat.

[Mexican18]

I don't mean ,'marinate yourself'.Marinate chops.

[ummmm]

Lol...I missed that :-)

[spathiphyllum]

love marinated meats

[spathiphyllum]

mexican, yes i agree that is the simple thing to do, but i'll have no time later to marinate some meats for a suitable period to flavour the meats so buying pre marinated is essential for me

[ummmm]

I'd eat it, don't get me wrong.

Why don't you go to the supermarket?

[spathiphyllum]

my local butchers is very highly rated and i can't tell you how good they are on price and quality

[spathiphyllum]

for a shank, oven at 180 for how long? I'v never cooked a shank.. I wanted to grill the cops but the shank is blowing my mind it looks mahoosive

A quick google doens't help me either maybe i'll ask edmond.

[spathiphyllum]

he says the shanks will be much more effort than chops almost to the point it's not worth a shank.

[ummmm]

IMO...shanks are over rated. But if you don't mind chomping on a bone.

[ummmm]

Shanks need slow cooking.

[spathiphyllum]

thats what i'm talkin abotu ummm aint no body got time for that apre work also i'd need to brown it off for 10 min

[spathiphyllum]

to me that's just more washing up.

drastic. Spath would probably taste better with horseradish sauce.

[spathiphyllum]

I agree nice n spicy

[ummmm]

You should invest in an hob to oven pan.

I agree with jno, I'd either make or buy a suitable sauce. Lamb goes nice with fruity sauces.

That's what I had for xmas dinner. Lamb with a spicy cherry sauce served in it's own pot on the side. That way you control how much sauce you apply.

Kind of want poutine now

Ummm i have a Cast Iron Round Casserole style dish would that be bale to go on da hob I think not but will it?

[ummmm]

Cast iron, yes, never forget your kitchen gloves though!!! Always season it.
