I'm about to marinate lamb. Hurry! Tell me secrets

[DuctapeFatwa]

It is in cubes. It is boneless. I believe I have enough garlic.

What else should the lamb sleep in?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

1. Rosemary or herbs de provence, some red wine, olive oil

[grasswire]

2. or....

...thyme, lemon juice, black pepper, olive oil

[supernova]

3. plain Yogurt

garlic, a little cardamom and nutmeg.

[mitchtv]

4. balsamic vinagre,worchestershire, fresh rosemary,

garlic- a spiteful dose of garlic

[mike_c]

5. I do it this way....

exact quantities? we don't need no stinkin' quantities....

pound lots of garlic and some salt to a paste
add plenty of minced fresh rosemary and thyme, pound some more
add a 1/4 tsp of dry mustard or some prepared Dijon mustard
add juice of a lemon and a couple tbsp of olive oil
mix

Toss the lamb cubes with the marinade in a bowl or zip-lock bag, marinade for an hour or so

grind on lots of fresh black pepper

grill over hot coals or under the broiler until crispy outside but still a bit pink inside

[DuctapeFatwa]

10. That sounds WONDERFUL but this has to be cooked inside and

not pink. I know. Lamb should be pink. And you know it.

But my guests include deranged people who do not.

12. sounds great mike_c

just finished our new kitchen. I think I'll have an inaugural feast tomorrow with that one!

6. Lemon juice.

If you want it to be authentic. Most lamb is eaten in the middle east with the execption of the Balkans (I'm part Croation and lamb was a big part of any barbecue hosted by that part of my family) so wine vinegar is not usually used.

Maybe some Rosemary as well.

15. I know, but this is going to be rogue, mischievous lamb

Authentically unique, original and multicultural, ecumenical, big tent lamb.

7. aren't you worried

about Mad Sheep Disease?

[DuctapeFatwa]

9. I am serene, because the lamb is HALAL :)

:evilgrin:

[DuctapeFatwa]

8. What if I do garlic, herbes de P, red wine, soupcon of olive oil,

lemon juice, a little chicken stock and a bit of balsamic AND a bit of red wine vinegar? and more garlic.

(I don't have any yogurt, but I do have some coconut milk and a can of Patak's, would lamb marinated in all the above be just awful served with a sort of pseudo-korma?)

[Snow]

11. Ooooh - cardomon, turmeric. Don't you have any Arab friends?

they know how to do lamb right,

[DuctapeFatwa]

13. I have all of that, but this will be multicontinental party mix lamb

:)

[Orangeone]

14. I just cooked lamb

today. I cook it with ginger, tumeric, salt, pepper and onions, put it in my pressure cooker. Just before it's finished cooking I throw in apples that have been sauted in butter, sugar and cinnamon.

16. Fresh dill and mint....

LOTS AND LOTS OF DILL AND MINT.....
