Calamity Kris Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Quite by accident, I purchased 2 lbs. of ground LAMB. {You see I was dashing through the store after work, tired and hungry. It was right next to the steaks and packaged exactly like ground beef so I grabbed it. I didn't know it was lamb until I got home.....} Well, I'm not going to use it for the original intent, meat sauce for pasta. Any ideas on simple ground lamb recipes I can make after work? My only request is simple and fast. Thanks and can't wait to see what you come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeb Gray, #36839 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Grill the lamb as burgers. Most of the "bad" flavor is in the fat. Cook or drain the fat off. Also serve either hot or cold. Fat flavor worst at mid temps. This works for all cuts of lamb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only request is simple and fast. Thanks and can't wait to see what you come up with. Why not use it for the meat sauce? Or maybe "porcupine meatballs" using lamb rather than beef. Put a touch of cinnamon in, maybe some ground coriander. Make a sauce/gravy with some chicken stock, onion, garlic, some chopped dried apricots. Play with it.

Cat Brules Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Do it the easy way. Freeze the package; don't open it. It was no mistake, oversight, coincidence, etc., that it was packaged like ground beef and placed in the cold box near the ground beef. Just take it back and scold the customer service people to get their butcher department manager to stop grinding up their aging, nearly-expired lamb, camouflaging it to resemble ground beef packages an passing it off on unsuspecting customers. You didn't want it, so take it back where it came from. Grocery stores do this kind of thing a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 CK!! Try this! INGREDIENTS Coarse salt and ground pepper 12 ounces rigatoni or other short pasta 1 pound ground lamb or beef chuck 1 medium onion, finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 cup tomato paste 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar DIRECTIONS In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente; drain, and return to pot. Set aside. While pasta is cooking, cook lamb in a large saucepan over medium-high, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Add onion and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, cinnamon, and cayenne, and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in vinegar, and season again with salt and pepper. Add sauce to pot with pasta, and toss to combine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many different ways are the to package ground meat? You see ground beef, pork, turkey, and lamb all packaged the same way. As for being next to the beef, both are red meat. I see them next to each other in the store frequently. In most of the stores I use I see the layout, from right to left, as pork, beef, lamb, chicken.

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 If you were going to make a hamburger, do the same thing. I've cooked many a simple burger of ground lamb in my George Forman. Nothing complicated about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity Kris Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 You have to let us know how you prepare it and the taste test results . Nosey Salonatics absolutely need to know. Well, I came home from w*#k thoroughly thrashed today. Insanely busy day for a desk job. I just added a pound and a half of extra lean ground beef to the two pounds of lamb {Dierbergs was out of Bison}, added finely chopped green onions, oregano, basil and thyme and simmered for a spell. When the meat was thoroughly browned, I added some simple Marinara sauce and simmered some more. I served the meat sauce over whole wheat angel hair pasta and with steamed green beans on the side. Uno liked it so much he went back for THIRDS. I guess you can call it a success. Thanks for all your suggestions. I'll keep them for future reference.
