Trimming Rack of Lamb will improve the flavor!

May 19, 2010 4 Comments
My favorite red meat of all time is lamb.
Top of my list?
Rack of lamb.
If you are like me and find lamb particularly delightful, you most likely have picked up a rack or two from your local butcher and prepared them yourself.
I purchase my rack of lamb from Sams Club.  The price is right (two racks for approximately $14), it is fresh from New Zealand, and I have never been disappointed in the taste.
In fact, my husband who is definitely is NOT a lamb fan… absolutely loves my rack of lamb and has remarkably remarked, “this is just as good as filet mignon.”  Bingo!

Here is my quick food tip of the day:

Always, always, always trim away every piece of fat and sinew from your rack of lamb.
Removing every trace will tremendously add to the tenderness of your meat and removes any unpleasant “lamby” taste.
You know the baaaaaaaaa-d taste I am talking about (sorry for the pun).
If you have never experienced rack of lamb or would like to know how to prepare it, drop me a comment and let me know!  I’d be glad to share!

    […] thing is to remove any silver skin from the meat. Those make chewing tough. I wrote a post about how to trim a rack of lamb, so you can simply follow those same […]

My name is Lyndi Fultz, and I live in the beautiful Ozark Mountains, which span Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri.

I like to share small ideas for living simply and eating happily.

You will find that I talk a lot about food because we all need to eat. Why not add little bits of food joy where possible?

There is something quite glorious about simplicity There is something quite glorious about simplicity. I'm really feeling it as Dennis and I sit here in our living room, next to the crackling fire. Full disclosure, this picture isn't me BUT I do have the exact same coffee cup. Anyoo, I'm reminded how wonderful it is to be still. Not that I ever forget that reminder, it's just easier to revel in it, next to a fire. With snow softing falling outside. You know what I mean?

First, it was a percolator.
Then came the Breville coffee maker.
Next, along came a bodum pour over.
Quickly replaced by a French Press.
Then came an Aeropress.
Followed by a rediscovery of a favorite instant brand we enjoyed in Isreal.
Now, Aeropress is making a comeback. 
And our beloved LaVazza espresso.
Which tastes like vacation at the Sonnelap in Vail.

Am I the only one who does coffee in phases?

What's next?

Probably need an espresso maker!

Microwave turntable = quick, fast, speed

Record player turntable = slow, easy, chill

Both have their places. But man, oh man, I am finding myself craving more of the latter: slow, easy, chill. 

Now, to get a record player...

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
