I Love Lamb

by Peter G August 9, 2008 Greek Food

I will apologise to any vegetarians now if you find this post offensive. Or maybe not! My name is Peter and I’m a lamboholic! Yep! That’s right. It’s an addiction. It’s become so expensive to buy this stuff right now that I couldn’t resist these beautiful lamb cutlets when I saw them at the butchers the other day. Priced at $2.50 each I was warned before I made my purchase. [...]

Lamb Shanks with Soft Polenta

by Peter G May 5, 2008 Recipes

Melt in the mouth shanks with soft polenta I was looking to make another dish to unleash the carnivore within. One that would suit the current “cold snap” as it’s referred to on the news.

Dukkah Crusted Lamb with Coriander Pesto

by Peter G December 7, 2007 Recipes

Dukkah Crusted Lamb A friend noted the other day that I had been cooking a fair few salads here on my blog. He said it would be good if I could do some more meals with “bite”. I interpreted that as meaning he wanted some meals that were a little more “filling”. So I gave into my caveman instincts and decided to whip a meal fit for any carnivore. With [...]
