when lamb meet potatoes

Occasionally, we will have lamb or goat for dinner. It has always been atang's favourite, yaya too has a liking to lamb. But I have a little bit problem with goat, can't eat much, but no problem with lamb. Not sure about Adik, because she has no experience with lamb or goat meat before, until recently. From our groceries shopping last weekend, I bought some chops, to experiment new recipe. I got this not so new recipe book from World of Kitchen, and this is my first time trying out one out of 97 recipes from the book.

Baked lamb with crispy potatoes (from Best Ever Winter Warmers recipes )

Ingredients:
3/4 cup plain flour
10 lamb loin chops
2 tbs olive oil
2 tbs rosemary leaves
1 lemon, skin and pith removed, thinly sliced
650g desiree potatoes (red skin potato), thinly sliced (best if use mandolin to slice these potatoes)
olive oil cooking spray
fresh rosemary sprigs, to serve

Cooking:
1. Preheat oven to 200 deg C. Place flour in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add chops.
Toss to coat, shaking off excess. Place on a plate. Reserve remaining flour.
2. Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook chops, 3 at a time, for 2 to 3 minutes each side or until browned. Transfer to an ovenproof dish.
3. Add 1 tbs remaining flour to pan. Cook, stirring, over medium heat for 1 minute or until bubbling. Add 1 cup cold water, stirring constantly until mixture comes to the boil. Add rosemary and lemon slices. Pour mixture over chops.
4. Place potato, overlapping slightly, over chops. Spray with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake 1 hour or until potatoes are golden and crisp. Top with rosemary. Serve.







For drink, I made chilled mango lassi. I love George's yogurt, it is less sour than any other yogurt, best for making lassi.



In the living room, the kids are waiting for dinner to be ready. In a week time, school will start, I asked yaya to make some revisions. Adik was good enough to not disturbing her sister. So we had lamb for dinner, and adik only ate a very small piece. Guess she doesn't like lamb.

And last week, our good neighbour sent us a bowl of mee bandung that smell so delicious. hmmmm....orang memberi kita merasa ye tak...hehehhehe...
