WASTE NOT: Lamb Hash

Img_5148

We had a great Rob-style meat-fest yesterday which lasted the better part of the afternoon and early evening. Rob fired-up the grill and treated us to pork spare ribs and lamb ribs each with a different rub. Then, after a brief break, he roasted a leg of lamb with potatoes, carrots, & garlic. It was a very meaty Valentine, but lovely nonetheless. 

Needless to say, there were some leftovers. This morning I opened the fridge to find a pile of thinly sliced lamb and some cold fingerling potatoes. A delicious excuse to turn on the stove and get cooking. I put a pat of butter in a pan to melt and diced half an onion, half a yam, the potatoes and lamb. I put the onion and yam in first and let them cook for about 5 minutes, then I added the potatoes and lamb and just let them heat through. I grabbed some fresh parsley from the garden and threw it in with some salt and a generous grinding of black pepper. I topped it all off with a poached egg and we all enjoyed steaming-hot lamb hash to get the day started.

1 tsp fennel seeds, roasted
3 tsp freshly ground pan roasted, dried ancho chile

Grind spices together in mortar & pestle. Rub on meat and let sit for 2 hours before bbq'ing.

Lamb Rub:
Cover meat generously with salt & pepper

2 tsp coriander seeds, roasted
1 tsp cumin seeds, roasted
2 tsp (total) of fresh sage, rosemary, thyme, chopped
3 tsp dried red chili

Grind spices togeter in mortar & pestle. Rub on meat and let sit for 2 hours before bbq'ing.

Rob cooked the lamb ribs until he thought they were done (lots o' fat rendering). I would guess he watched them closely for almost 15 min, low heat.

The lamb ribs were awesome (the 2 long pkgs of ribs from Mel).

Are you getting lamb from Mel this month?
