Does anyone like lamb? We do and miss it terribly due to the price.

However I have managed to source a whole lamb and intend to stuff it with herbs and slowly BBQ it a week on Sunday for a feast. If anyone would like to join us advance booking is essential. We shall also be serving BBQ potatoes, bread and a variety of salads all for 300 baht a head.

Sign up here if interested or PM me if you have any questions.

Thanks

That sounds so so good to me

We'll be on Koh Chang then.....darn shame to miss it,

Hope you all have a good day

will there be plenty of mint sauce?

Are you going to kill it before you stuff it full of herbs MB?

I'm not sure Blinky what's your advice on this? I understand you have a lot of experience with stuffing?

Only if they are properly dressed for the evening.

Stuffed Baby Lamb

QOUZI

1 16-20 lbs. spring lamb (7-10 kgs)

4 cups ground lamb (minced kamb)

5 cups rice, washed and drained

2 cups mixed pistachio, pine nuts and almonds

1 1/4 tsp. black pepper

2 Tbsp. salt (or to taste)

3 cups Clarified Butter (or other shortening)

Flour

The question of which is better, the meat or the stuffing, has yet to be decided in this case, for both are delicious.

Blanch almonds and pistachios. Slip off their skins. Fry ground meat in smoking hot samneh until no longer pink. Add all the nuts and fry with meat until toasted. Add rice, salt, pepper and water. Stir gently. Cover and cook over low fire until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Meanwhile, prepare lamb by rubbing it inside and out with salt and pepper. Correct seasoning of stuffing and when it is cool, stuff the lamb with it. Sew the opening with heavy thread. Tie feet together in pairs. Boil the stuffed lamb in a large kettle with enough water to cover well. Skim.

When done, the meat will feel soft and tender when pressed between the fingers. This will take several hours. Remove lamb from water and place in a large roasting pan. Coat with samneh or butter and laban for a nice glaze. Roast in moderate oven until nicely browned, basting frequently with its own broth. Serve on a large platter garnishing with parsley. Pass laban and gravy made with the pan drippings, thickened with flour and water. Fresh salad and vegetables cooked in oil are usually served with qouzi.

Yours truly,

I agree. Nice, neighborly flame. Sounds scrumptious to me - let me check with the Mister and get back to you.

Definitely going ahead, Last bookings by Tuesday please to make sure we get the right size lamb or two.

Thanks for the recipe Colonel may well give that a try.

Blinky - surf with care

Delighted to accept your kind invitation, Mr Bentley. I shall be bringing my own little lamb.

I'll be there, MB but the rest of the family aren't keen on lamb so I'll be on my own. Is there a Six Nations game that evening too?

Thanks Rass and GS - much appreciated.

No Six Nations games that weekend so there will be no distractions from the feasting!

How could you eat me?

With gusto

MINT SAUCE MINT SAUCE MINT SAUCE..................................

And here's another cute lamb and friend. The young human grew up to be a very handsome man. Guess who? The cute lamb didn't get a chance to grow up.

Good Lord Blinky you haven't changed much - got a bit bigger I suppose

Good Lord Blinky you haven't changed much

Except now the bottle in his hand is usually brown and has Thai writing on it

Can't make this one, but looking forward to the next one!

Sounds good, is it a starter for Sunday?
