As Easter gets closer, I am already thinking of a roast leg of lamb with currant jelly.

I’ve had lamb loin chops on my shopping list for the past 4 weeks and they keep selling out. Guessing there will be a glut soon enough for easter.

Curious what you and @Vecchiouomo mean when you say korma – the korma I grew up with has a rich, reddish-brown gravy, but some I’ve come across at restaurants in the US have a sweet, white gravy that I’m not familiar with.

More the reddish brown and more hot than sweet. I have had lamb shahi korma that was more creamy. It is good, too, but I like spicy better than sweet.

I grew up with a mild, sweet and pale creamy Shrimp Korma made by a man from Pakistan, who ran The Jewel of India in LdnOnt for 40 years.
Most Kormas I have ordered lately have been more red and spicy.
I’m open to all variations.
My DCs like Rogan Josh or Lamb Dhansak more than Lamb Korma.

the Ottolenghi shawarma in Jerusalem is delish
Hi,
I’m going to make this for a crowd for NYE. Anyone made it ahead of time, then reheated? Sami Tamimi says do it in his shawarma recipe in Falastin, but he uses a a lamb shoulder, not a leg (which I suspect is fattier).
I don’t want to dry it out. Thanks
This slow-roasted lamb shawarma is packed with bold Middle Eastern spices, inspired by the flavors of Jerusalem. Marinated overnight and cooked until meltingly tender, it’s perfect for a show-stopping feast. Serve with warm pita, tahini, and fresh...
In addition to Greek-style and French- style roast lamb, lamb souvlaki, and Ottolenghi lamb shawarma, this Diana Henry lamb shashlik is a favourite at our house.
I’ll post this recipe for 3 reasons:
it’s the Diana Henry recipe I have made the most,
Easter is just around the corner,
and it’s the beginning of rhubarb season in some parts of the world.
The rhubarb sauce would also be good with chicken, duck, pork, or cheese.
Another lamb recipe I made a few times, which can also be made with pork or veal, is Swedish Dillkött.
Lamb rendang is also delish
Here is a Lamb Rendang recipe which is simplified and easy for rendang lovers.

We have not one, but TWO shoulders in the freezer now, thanks to a generous gift from friends who are moving away.

Lamb Manti-style Pasta, using ground or minced lamb.
I absolutely love manti, Turkish dumplings with fillings. When I am short of time though, I make this “Cheat Manti”, Kiymali Makarna, using shell shaped conchiglie pasta, over a delicious Turkish…
This Manti-style lamb pasta looks good to me. I didn’t know it went viral, maybe mostly Down Under
I guess Manti-style pasta is Turkish Lambaroni! Or Lamburger Helper!
Happy Greek Independence Day.
Fried salt cod with skordalia and beets is the traditional thing to eat on Greek Independence Day.
I am making something Greek with ground lamb and pasta tonight instead.
maybe a vegetarian Pastitsio, with lamb meatballs on the side.
