Which part of the carcass should I take?

Most often used:

● The hindquarter is the leg or ham. You can make juicy shish kebab from it.

● Bone-in loin is the most affordable option. The loin is baked after being chopped into pieces.

● Lumbar part - it is also willingly sent to the coals. The taste is difficult to describe - you have to try it. Features: presence of bones, tender meat.

There is also tenderloin, but it is not prepared so often, because this option is practically not found in markets and stores.

How to properly cook odorless lamb

First you need to figure out what gives it. And most often the reason for the specific aroma is surface fat, so we clean it off. But if the smell remains, use our tips:

● You can soak the purchased piece in milk. To do this, we will prepare a “milk bath” and place the meat in it for a couple of hours or overnight.

● Another option is soaking in marinade with herbs (cumin, coriander, rosemary, oregano).

● Milk can be replaced with kefir or vinegar. But if you are going to soak the lamb in the latter, do not forget about it - otherwise your ham will become dry and tough.

That's all - we got rid of the smell, all that remains is to learn those culinary subtleties that we talked about. Let's start with the right marinade.

Secrets of marinating

It's up to you to decide whether to do it or not. If you get a good piece without an unpleasant smell, tender and juicy, you can skip this step. If you have something tough in front of you, it is better to invite such a ram to bathe in a fragrant dressing. It should last from 3 to 5 hours.

If you come across a soft piece, you can leave only the minimum that allows the flavor to reveal itself - spices (rosemary, thyme, saffron, mint, ginger). They should be added at the very end, so that guests first feel the unique main ingredient and only then the trail of herbs.

How to cook lamb on the grill


● First tip: wait for the red coals. But do not expose your leg, steaks, ribs or shish kebab to them - at this temperature they will quickly turn into black soles. So our main task is to turn the pieces as often as possible so that they do not have time to burn.

● Maximum roasting time – 10 minutes. If you want a different degree of doneness (driier meat), remove the coals by moving them to the side and continue cooking the main picnic dish in the heat that remains.

It’s one thing if we cook lamb over a fire, and quite another thing if we cook it on the grill. A subtle smoky aroma that tickles the nostrils, an unforgettable atmosphere, convenient temperature control, and heat retention under the dome - this is what makes the Kamado Joe kamado an ideal option for creating your culinary masterpieces.

What to do if you have leftover meat

The following story often happens: they bought too many pieces, and only one or two were left. Where should I put them? We answer:

● You can prepare a fragrant and rich soup with potatoes, ribs, and onions. If the ingredients are too few for your liking, add homemade cereal or noodles to the hot pot. It turns out tasty and satisfying. The guests are happy, you have discovered a new recipe.


● You can make a warm salad. To do this, chop the meat into thin slices, fry on the grill, add cherry tomatoes cut in half, red onion half rings, boiled potatoes and baked eggplants, diced. Dressing – olive oil and favorite spices. Fresh herbs won't hurt either.


Here's what you can cook from lamb with vegetables - more than enough tasty and satisfying, the photos won't let you lie.

Garnish

A win-win side dish is baked vegetables and rice. The ideal option is crumbly pilaf with dried fruits - raisins, prunes and dried apricots. You can offer your guests delicious kebabs of champignons, tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. But do not forget that nothing should overshadow the taste of the meat.

We have already talked about what the marinade should be like and what nuances should be taken into account. Now let's talk about how to properly cook lamb (namely leg) at home on the grill.

Fry or bake

So, the first method is classic roasting. We don't need a burnt ham - we turn it over often, preventing the brown crust from turning black. The peculiarity of this option is that you can immediately cut off the finished layers and place them on a plate.

The second method is baking in foil. Here you won’t be able to try a piece quickly - you’ll have to wait. The recipe is simple: first marinate the meat, then wrap it in foil (2-3 layers), before pouring the remaining marinade onto the leg of lamb. It should be cooked over hot coals, remembering to turn it over. Baking can take up to half an hour - depending on the age of the animal and the size of the ham. Afterwards, you need to unfold the foil and fry our lamb until golden brown.

The best side dish for this dish is juicy grilled eggplant.

Recipes

With rosemary and mint


For the meat we will need parsley, mint, rosemary, a few cloves of garlic, 2 tbsp. vegetable oil for marinade, ground red or black pepper and salt - to taste.

The cooking process is simple: first chop the herbs (mint, rosemary, parsley), then crush the garlic and combine the prepared ingredients with oil, not forgetting to add pepper. We leave the lamb in this aromatic marinade for a maximum of 15 minutes - this time is enough for our piece to be soaked. Then we transfer it to the grill, fry for a couple of minutes on one side, add salt, turn over and wait for the other side to brown.

Appetizing steaks


Among our recipes with photos describing how to cook delicious grilled lamb, there is also a juicy steak. To prepare this dish we will need ready-made portions, a teaspoon of cumin, a little coriander, pepper and coarse salt.

Grind the spices in a mortar and combine them with pepper and salt. Rub the resulting mixture onto the meat and leave for 20 minutes. Then put it on the grill and fry until done, remembering to turn it over. Serve with herbs - parsley, cilantro.

In a spicy marinade


In addition to the lamb itself, we will need wine (white and red), wine sauce, olive oil, rosemary, thyme and pepper, cloves, a couple of red onions for the marinade and 4 more for the sauce, lemon, dill.

First we prepare the dressing. To do this, combine finely chopped onions with red wine, vinegar and oil, add herbs, pepper, and cloves to them. Mix the resulting mixture thoroughly. Place the meat into it, previously cleared of fat and films, washed and cut into portions up to 2 cm thick, and leave it for 3 hours. An hour before cooking over an open fire, take out our lamb and let it warm up to room temperature. Afterwards we prepare the sauce: finely chop the onion, sprinkle it with pepper and salt, crush it with a pestle, add a mixture of lemon juice heated over the fire with white wine, and dill. Fry the pieces for 5 minutes on each side and serve them with sauce and halved cherry tomatoes.

With herbs (in foil)


We will need ham, garlic, thyme, rosemary, mint leaves, olive oil, pepper and salt. We make shallow cuts in the leg of lamb entrusted to us, put garlic and herbs there, pour oil over the meat, rub with salt and pepper. Then wrap the piece in foil and place it on a wire rack for one to two hours (depending on the size). Don't forget to turn the package over. Then we put it on a plate, unwrap it and cut it into pieces. The ideal side dish is baked potatoes.

Now watch the video and cook lamb according to the rules - without an unpleasant odor, tasty, without overcooking on the grill:

This meat should be eaten hot - piping hot. Invite guests for a picnic, prepare kamado and the necessary ingredients - surprise those who have always refused the most tender ham because of its fat content or unpleasant smell. And don’t forget – creating culinary masterpieces is easy when you know what to do.

Photo of the Uyghur lagman I prepared, which I decided to make for many years due to the lack of “the only correct” and perfect recipe for this dish. From sources that more or less deserved respect, I only learned that lagman is a dish widespread in Central Asia, which has Uyghur, Uzbek, Dungan and Tajik varieties, which do not seem to differ fundamentally, but differ in the composition of the products, gravy liquid and characteristics preparing noodles (pulled, chopped, etc.). Lagman consists of two main parts: The first part is noodles (chuzma), the second is vaja, which gives the lagman its main taste and aroma. When I finally realized that some correct recipe for lagman simply does not exist in nature, I prepared the lagman shown in the photo.

This is a photo of the lula kebab I cooked at the dacha. The very idea of ​​​​preparing this wonderful dish originated a long time ago, but I was able to realize it only after I had a birch chock at my disposal, which I needed so much for manually chopping real minced meat for lula kebab (for which I use two meat hatchets). To prepare the lula kebab shown in the photo, I bought the hind leg of a young lamb and a solid piece of fat tail; the meat was manually chopped with hatchets into minced meat, then combined with finely chopped fat tail and onions, cut into small cubes. Next, all the minced ingredients for lula kebab were kneaded very carefully and for a very long time (about 20 minutes) until a viscous substance was obtained, from which sausages were formed on skewers. Next, the lula kebab was baked on the grill until fully cooked. To be honest, when preparing lula kebab, I was very afraid that the meat would fall on the coals, but it seems that I did everything correctly, and everything worked out for me, and therefore, I am sharing a practice-tested recipe for lula kebab, which, moreover, , it turned out very tasty!

Photo of meat and potatoes that I cooked in a real cast iron cauldron, but on a gas stove. It was February, and in order not to freeze and not bother with the fire under the cauldron (and it would have to be maintained for about 2 hours, which would not be very easy for winter at minus 25-30), I used a gas stove. So, I set a cast-iron cauldron on gas, heated vegetable oil in it, then fried the potatoes and meat until golden brown, after which I put the potatoes and meat back into the cauldron, closed it with a lid and baked it with coarsely chopped onions and garlic for about an hour and a half. What you see in the photo is exactly what I got in the end. It was very tasty, and most importantly, this recipe for potatoes with meat is very simple.

Photo of beshbarmak, or rather its Kazakh variety (et). Well, of course, I couldn’t find kazy or shuzhuk at all in our market, but I was lucky enough to find a small piece of horse meat. Lamb, beef and horse meat are boiled in a cauldron for about two and a half hours. While the meat was boiling, I kneaded the stiff dough from which the noodles (diamonds) were made. The boiled diamonds were poured with the fat skimmed from the meat broth, after which the meat, previously stewed with onions and young garlic stalks, was laid out on the noodles. I won’t go so far as to say that I have created a recipe for a mega original and authentic dish, but it turned out really very tasty!

Photo of lamb stewed in wine. One day I had pieces of very fresh lamb at my disposal, and I wanted to not only cook them, but to make something very tasty and unearthly.

I took pieces of lamb, fried them until golden brown, then stewed them briefly with onions and carrots, added garlic, salt and spices, after which everything was stewed for a long time over low heat. As a result, the meat fell off the bones well, was very soft, tasty and literally melted in your mouth! Well, you can find out how to prepare this lamb dish with step-by-step photos here.

Photo of lamb, which I stewed along with vegetables at my friend’s dacha. Actually, there are no frills or hassles - we take good pieces of lamb (for example, loin, ribs or cutlets on the bone), quickly fry them on all sides in a cauldron, then generously sprinkle the fried lamb with chopped onions, close the lid and start simmering. Next we put carrots and tomatoes into the cauldron, add salt, add spices and that’s it! Our stewed lamb is completely ready; the meat is garnished with the vegetables it was cooked with. Well, a photo report of the preparation of what I just told you can be found here.

You won't believe it, but the photo shows lamb ribs that were stewed along with lamb pulp in a lot of onions. Excess fat is cut off from all parts of the meat, the ribs are cut and marinated in a Japanese marinade (I bought this marinade ready-made on my previous trips to the store), the meat is cut from the shoulder parts of the lamb, and the bones are sent to the ribs. Trimmed pieces of lamb meat are marinated in garlic and fresh tomatoes; Vegetables (onions, carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes) are fried in a cauldron WITHOUT OIL (to give them the appearance of baked vegetables); The ribs are fried in a cauldron, then pieces of trimmed lamb are sent to them, after which the meat is stewed with a lot of onions, and finally, vegetables fried without oil (except for tomatoes) are added to the almost completely cooked meat. This is roughly how I prepared this dish, intricate in all respects.

Some people don’t like lamb because of its specific taste and smell. But many of these people have simply never tried properly cooked lamb. How to cook such meat so that it turns out tasty?

What kind of meat is this?

Lamb is a fairly fatty meat, which, by the way, is superior in fat content to beef and even pork. And that’s why not everyone likes lamb dishes. But high calorie content is not the only thing that scares us away. The fact is that this meat has a very unusual smell. This is not to say that it is disgusting or very unpleasant, but still some do not use such a product precisely because of its characteristic “aroma”.

Most often, meat from individuals aged from 4 months to one year goes on sale. It was at this time that it had not yet acquired fat and veins, but had already acquired a characteristic aroma, which is mandatory for dishes made from this product.

Older meat (over a year old) is consumed only in a few eastern countries. If you prefer tender, odorless flesh, then choose milk lamb meat. Dairy lambs are those that still feed exclusively on milk and have no teeth.

How to choose?

So how to choose lamb? There are several important points that must be taken into account when purchasing:

  1. Pay attention to the color of the meat. Typically, it ranges from light red to dark burgundy. Everything is simple here: the older the ram, the darker its meat. So if you prefer tender flesh, then choose lighter meat.
  2. Fresh meat from dairy lambs can be called a seasonal product, since it is sold only during certain periods. The fact is that lambs are usually born at the beginning of the year, namely from January to March (this is due to the peculiarities of the structure and functioning of the sheep’s body). So if you are offered the most tender flesh of milk lamb in the summer, or even more so in the fall, then do not believe a single word of the seller, he is lying.
  3. Try pressing the meat a little. If it is fresh, it will almost immediately return to its original form. But stale pulp will leave a dent.
  4. The smell of lamb has a specific smell, but in no case should it be unpleasant. And dairy lambs, by the way, have practically no smell. If the smell is pungent, this may be a signal of improper slaughter or storage.
  5. The bones of adult individuals should be white, and not gray or brown (color changes indicate diseases). And in lambs, the bones have a pink-bluish tint.
  6. Inspect the fat. The consistency is more like wax, as it is quite dense and thick. The color of the fat may be milky or yellowish.
  7. Inspect the cut of meat. It should be slightly damp, but not wet, much less slippery.

How to remove the smell?

If the smell of lamb is unpleasant to you, then you can try to remove it or at least make it less noticeable. Here are some useful tips:

  • Try marinating the meat. Spicy or acidic compounds are excellent for pickling, as they perfectly combat foreign odors. So, you can use tomato or pomegranate juice, adjika, soy sauce, vinegar, kefir and so on. But do not choose marinades that are too acidic, and also do not marinate the meat for too long, otherwise it will become hopelessly tough. Half an hour will be enough.
  • The smell comes from the fat, so remove it with a knife before cooking.
  • Wash the meat well with hot water.
  • Use seasonings. The aromas of some of them can drown out the smell of lamb.
  • Try soaking lamb in milk for an hour.

Features of preparing different parts of the carcass

How to cook delicious lamb? First of all, you need to choose the appropriate part of the carcass. Some useful tips for you:

  • The most tender and almost universal is the cut from the back or lower back. It can be baked in the oven, boiled, fried, stewed. Lamb cutlets are also delicious.
  • Ham is also suitable for almost any dish. There is a lot of meat and almost no fat. But if the ram was old, then the meat may be tough and stringy.
  • The brisket is the most stringy and fatty part, from which delicious pilafs and stews are made.
  • The neck can be put into soup and boiled or stewed for a long time.
  • Rib meat is fatty and tough, it is better to use it in soups or stew.
  • The knuckle will make it.
  • From the flank (the so-called thin abdominal wall with a large amount of connective tissue) you can prepare stews, rolls, and broths for dressing.
  • The shank (the lower part of the hind leg) is best used for making jellied meat.

First add the potato cubes to the strained broth. After about 10 minutes, add the borscht dressing. Let it boil and add sorrel strips and pieces of chopped lamb. Add salt and, as soon as everything boils, pepper right before turning it off. Let this beauty sit under the lid for at least five minutes. You'll like it!

How to quickly cook lamb stroganoff in sour cream and tomato sauce

Let's chop off pieces of meat, cut them across the grain and create strips about a centimeter thick and 3-4 cm long. Place a frying pan and heat it. Roll the slices in flour mixed with salt and pepper and fry them in oil over high heat. In a second frying pan, fry finely chopped onion. Next, I should have prepared the bechamel, but I simplified the process - poured sour cream over the fried onions and sprinkled with pepper, and after a minute turned it off. I put the meat out of the frying pan into a makeshift sauce, and slightly warmed it up, but did not stew it!
