The cookingbites recipe challenge: lamb or goat

[badjak]

I need to get to town first.
Unless I buy and slaughter that whole goat....
But freezer space is at a premium

No, it's not terribly high compared to prices here. Now granted, the ground lamb here is half the price but for lamb chops and Frenched chops it's not that much higher there than here.

But you will still be in HI in July?

When we get back to Cowboyville Arizona we have to go to "The Big City" for doctor's appointments.
I probably won't be getting back into my kitchen until mid-late July.

Ok, my first (of a planned two):

Recipe - Lamb and Two-Cheese Quesadillas

Straightforward quesadilla recipe, using lamb and including a tzatziki-style sauce, this offers no real surprises. It’s fine, MrsT quite liked it, but…well, you know the saying “more than the sum of its parts?” - this ain’t that. This is exactly the sum of its parts. It tastes like lamb and mozzarella and feta melted together in a tortilla, with a creamy cucumber-yogurt sauce on top.

That doesn’t mean it’s necessarily bad, but there really wasn’t any of the anticipation one might get when making something for the first time. Putting it together, I thought over and and over, “I know precisely how this will taste…” and I was right. Tasted fine, but there wasn’t any real excitement around it.

Final thought:
Me: “This is fine, but I wouldn’t order it in a restaurant.”
MrsT: “I was just thinking that I would order this in a restaurant, but it’s not something I’d go out of my way to have.”

‘Bout sums it up, really.

Smith's, the Kroger affiliate here in Salt Lake has rack of lamb. Well, half a rack, I guess.

$17.99 per pound, which is not too outrageous compared to other places. But a 4 bone rack weighing in at 1.5 poinds? That was a BIG lamb! Probably American lamb from out west here, as the bigger New Zealand lamb racks I've seen weigh in about 1.25 pounds for an 8 bone rack!

I do have a dish in mind, will have to clean up some of the leftovers I already have before making a new dish.

We may need to extend the deadline for Kgrl.

It's in your hands! How long do you want to extend?

Let’s see what she says before we determine that.

msmofet and Morning Glory you folks carry on, I hadn't planned on submitting anything as no one in my household nor Neighborhood Gal Pals care for Lamb nor Goat.
I love Lamb (can't say that I've ever had Goat) and I will live vicariously through the forum.

I believe that's because they never had it cooked by you! But you do have a lot going on otherwise, too...

Rack of lamb is a treat, indeed!

I've never made or eaten rack of lamb.
