Monday Morning in the Kitchen: Roast Lamb

For our Easter dinner, I adapted this recipe for roast lamb. John prefers his meat on the pink side; but you could easily roast it longer.


Roast Lamb

In a large freezer bag, combine:  2 cups plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves, 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, 4 cloves of garlic (pressed), and the zest of 2 lemons.  Add one boneless lamb roast, and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.

The next day, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon pepper, 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves, 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, 4 cloves of garlic, and the zest of 2 lemons.  Mix well with an immersion blender.  

Put roast in baking pan, and spread olive oil mixture on top.  Cook at 325 degrees for 20-30 minutes per pound, depending on your pinkness preference. 
Thanks for my family, who are free with compliments and help.  (And that's no April Fool's joke!)

  2. That looks and sounds really good, although I look at lamb a little differently now that I've been to my brother's farm to hold a bunch of them. I'm not going to go vegetarian or anything, but it will be a while before I eat lamb again. Give me a few months and I just may try it.

Six Sentence Story: Twist

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...
