THE OVERLOOKED MEAT

Most of us, here in the United States, when asked about meat will usually mention beef, pork, or chicken. A few of us might list some kind of fish along with the other three although many people feel that seafood should be in a class all its own and not included with any other listing of meats.

There is, however, another meat that is too often overlooked when we are deciding on the menu for the upcoming week's meals. To not include this overlooked meat on our shopping list means that we are missing a wonderful taste treat.

This often ignored meat is Lamb and in many parts of the world it is as common to find it on the table as it is to find Hamburger being served here in the United States.

This week I'll give you a recipe for Lamb and point you to some web links where you can find many more.

GLAZED LAMB ROAST

1 3 to 4 Pound Boned Shoulder of Lamb (Rolled and Tied)

1 8 ounce jar of Brown Pepared Mustard

1/2 Cup Brown Sugar

7-8 ounces of Carbonated Lemon-Lime Soft Drink

2 teaspoons of Prepared Horseradish

1 Tablespoon of Worcestershire Sauce

Enough Cooked White Rice for 6 to 8 servings.

Place the Lamb on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast at 325F for 1 1/2 hours. Combine the remaining ingredients and blend them well. (NOTE: If you wish, you may reserve 1/2 Cup of the sauce to use as a sauce on the rice when you serve the Lamb.) Spoon 1/3 of the sauce over the Lamb and roast for another 1 1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 170F to 180F (depending on the desired doneness) Spoon the remaining sauce over the Lamb while roasting. Heat the reserved sauce and serve over Hot Rice as a side dish. Serves 6 to 8 people.

The country of New Zealand raises and exports a large amount of Lamb each year and to see a few of their recipes, go to New Zealand Beef and Lamb Recipes.

Another great Lamb recipe with a funny sounding name can be found at the following location Ridiculously Garlicky Lamb. If you're a garlic lover, as I am, you'll love it. I use even more garlic than the recipe calls for.
