I'm a "lamb lover" and can blame my parents for my addiction seeing we ate a lot of the various cuts of lamb.
My favorite lamb meal is stew and my Dad made the best ever and that's the opinion of many people, even some who originally didn't like lamb.
My Dad's lamb stew was light colored because he didn't brown the meat as he did w/ all the other stews he made. His lamb stew had onions, garlic, carrots, potatoes, celery, peas. and salt and pepper to taste.
The "secret" to the wonderful, mild lamb flavor was that he boiled the lamb and the resultant "soup" was what gave it so much flavor.
I buy lamb shoulder chops from Walmart that are supplied by a local farm and they're reasonably priced.....lamb tends to have outrageous prices because of its scarcity. These chops are cut up and the " fat waste" is high but because of the flavor content, the lamb needn't be the most predominant item, but does supply the most flavor...although a stew is a melding of many flavors all of which contribute.
Anybody got a good lamb stew recipe and although some think there's a similarity between lamb and venison, the stews would be quite different......Fred
