Cooking for 3 in southwestern Ontario
Sunday: take-out. Take-out fried chicken thighs and cole slaw from Mary Brown’s, and a take-out appetizer sampler, navratan Korma, dal with spinach, mango lassi and kheer (rice pudding) from an Indian restaurant. I’m trying to cut back on frequent fried chicken for myself. One of my dining companions has been requesting it almost weekly. LOL. Which means I’m also cooking less chicken at home lately. It used to be that I roasted a whole chicken on Mondays.

Eggs with Hollandaise and smoked salmon for breakfast.
I’m making lamb Barbacoa for Easter dinner.
This one calls for orange juice, rosemary, oregano
Purchased Colomba (Easter bread) from Eataly.
Purchased Jamocha Almond cake.
I’m making a lamb Korma tonight. The Jaffrey recipe, which includes cardamom, coriander seed, coconut and tumeric, is included above in the Guardian article .
I had already started prepping another lamb Korma prep, that called for cinnamon, nutmeg, cumin, garam masala, ginger, red chili and bay leaf so I’ll stick with that spice combination today .

I watched Jacques make this the other day, from 2011. This is a newer video. He talks about lots of fat in lamb breast.
A navarin is a classic lamb stew, and there are many variations. For a tasty peasant-like dish, I make mine the way my mother used to, with an unboned lamb breast.

God I love that guy. IMHO, lamb, prolly more than any other meat, really loves to be cooked with the bone and fat in place. For some reason, I get the most flavor out of lamb so long as the bone and fat remain. Aside from ground lamb that I make into burgers, or kabobs, I need that bone/fat flavor. Pepin IS essential.

Agreed! Ground lamb was a regular meat growing up, not a favorite. I prefer bone-in chops and roasts. More flavor with the fat.

Did any one mention my favourite Ali Nazik?
I also like hummus topped with lamb mince (nice with some kind of flatbread).

I love lamb, but one of my most memorable lamb dishes was amazingly simple. It was a rack that had been injected with tangerine liqueur and roasted.

Never thought of lamb chili. Lamb cassoulet but never chili. I might have to try it but not a fan of black beans.

I often swap beans I like more for whatever a recipe calls for.
