Have you ever tasted lamb?
Here in Greece, lamb is one of our
favorite meats to eat especially on Easter. Very clean and very tasteful. But
as every meat we have to not over do it with the quantity…. Yeap I know…tough…

Anyway, last Sunday I cooked lamb with potatoes and it was really
delicious. I am not going to point out the
quantity of each ingredient, since it is something that you can decide by
yourself!

Put the meat above them or in the middle. Chop up the garlic and add it too.
In a glass add the olive oil, the lemon juice and more

Oh how I miss lamb! My grandfather and my dad raised sheep so I grew up on it. I see it in the markets here now & then but it's pretty pricey. My grandma used to serve lamb roast with mint jelly, though that's about all I remember lol. Lamb burger and chops were my favorites though. :)Thanks for bringing back the memory!
Lamb with mint jelly? sounds great!
Sounds great for Easter or anytime.
