And lamb isn’t?
I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.

Rub a good mustard all over lamb, roll in panko bread crumbs and roast. Make a chimichurri sauce to put on the meat. Serve med rare. Mint jelly be forever out of vocabulary after trying

Nope.

I've only got one cut of lamb left in the freezer, a shoulder. Friday night rub it with garlic, Thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Let it sit in braising pot until after sunrise service on Easter morn, then to the oven with some white wine to braise until it pulls apart. Will make a gravy with that braising liquid.
No mint.

My old lady tells me we have a 1/2 lamb on order but it's usually hanging by this point and I've heard nothing. Guess Easter is early this year....

I think mint jelly is a holdover from the bad old days when times really were hard...and a lot of 2 year old rank mutton was peddled as lamb. Kind of like these elaborate cover-up recipes to disguise venison killed in the rut. Or, "I got a bad antelope", neglecting to mention an ass shot and chased 3 miles in the pickup.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

I have cooked a barbequed lamb leg a few times that had a home made barbeque sauce. One of the ingredients was mint jelly. I prefer garlic powder Cavendars and lemon pepper as the seasoning for cooking lamb legs,racks,and chops.
