Easter Egg'd Leg of Lamb, Tri Tip, Greek Salad, Caulflower Rice Pilaf, and Sourdough bread

Sweet100s · March 2016

Made some Easter weekend treats.

Lamb, TriTip, Greek Salad, Cauliflower Rice Pilaf, and the most courageous part - home made sourdough bread from a "100 year old Alaskan Sour Dough starter" creature I bought from Etsy that I've been "feeding"...

Started with the Trader Joe's pre-marinated Burgundy Pepper Leg of Lamb and Kansas City TriTip

I've forgotten how simple and delicious greek salad is.

It's basically veggies + parseley, oregano, lemon, red wine vinegar.

My goal was something bigger than a baguette that I could use for Sourdough bread sandwiches or appetizers on toast

The Sourdough starter grabbed the kids interest as soon as I made the analogy to needing to feed it and then seeing it 'fart'. Like I said in the other thread, these could support 50 science fair projects for the curious or creative...

Used this recipe for 4 baguettes

only cut in half and all in 1 loaf vs 2 baguettes

Smells great. 480 in an inside oven seems so much hotter than in the egg.

Saw a bag of "cauliflower rice" at Trader Joe's. I enjoy the taste of roasted cauliflower as much as rice, but TJ's also sells pre-prepped leeks. Anything + sauteed leeks + sauteed mushrooms + garlic is a great side dish. I had both leeks and some leftover scallions to use up. This was delicous.

The green sauce was a hand full of parsely, a hand full of cilantro, olive oil, rice wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper, all into the blender.
