I eat a lot of lamb myself...but everybody can't fix lamb the way it should be fixed... On occassion ,my wife and I have dined at a few area establishments who have served it to my liking. One such place is beleive it or not McCormick and Schmidts in Center City Philadelphia. I digress..This is a lamb recipe, though not necessarily the one that they use, but close to what we had when we dined there.
Lamb Shanks with Sun-Dried Tomatoes!

1 tablespoon(s) olive oil

2 tablespoon(s) tomato paste
1 navel orange
1 can(s) (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained

Damn This Looks Good!
ReplyDeleteI actually prefer my lamb grilled. I grilled a nice leg of lamb last month......it was really good. I actually used a little brown sugar and honey dijon mustard to set mine off.
