Mary's little lamb-Results & Review

Beanie-Bean

I must say thanks to the helpful people on the forum once again for the excellent advice, and for giving me the confidence to try something different once again. Earlier, I was a bit skeptical about how some little lamb cuts smaller than my Blackberry could turn out to be something really spectacular. That was the case with the lamb chops I cooked earlier this evening. I used some different seasonings on them (Benoit's Cajun/Kosher Salt; DP Redeye; DP Swamp Venom) just to see if I could still taste the lamb through all the different flavors I was adding.

All of them were good. Next time, I will try something a bit more traditional, but I must say that if you haven't tried this on the BGE yet, you must try some this week. They turned out fabulously delicious, and I will be doing some on a regular basis.

Setup the SBGE for a 400 deg direct cook. After the fire stabilized at temp, I dropped some Jack Daniels chips in and did the chops 4 minutes a side. On the flip side, the DP chops were off to the edge of the grid so that they wouldn't get cooked to medium doneness. Those finished up mid-rare, and the Benoit's came out medium.

Here is the recap:




I think I'll be trying more lamb cuts over the next few weeks.

Try some slow cooked lamb shanks.

Cheeseie but I like! :laugh: Bean next time try with salt, cracked pepper and rosemary cooked just like you did this time if you liked the doneness. This simple seasoning lets the lamb come threw. I hot water bath them first.

Ha ha! :laugh: That one better go run and hide, else it may end up on my plate soon.

Beanie-Bean

Will do. Can't go wrong with the basic seasoning. Might even try a bit of oregano in there, too.

Thanks,

I saw the osso bucco you did earlier--magnificent!

So, what kind of rub did you use for the BlackBerry and how did it turn out?

Beanie-Bean

That would be blood, sweat, and tears for the Blackberry. Still wondering how that will turn out :ohmy:
