Lamb Recipe

[William]

A friend has offered me a supply of lamb in return for some sausages. Excellent deal I thought. Anyone suggest a nice lamb sausage recipe for the weekend? Many thanks.

tried a search for merguez?

[William]

Found an excellent recipe from Yr Hen Selsig. Let you know how they go. Many thanks, JPJ.

If you want someting different for next time William, I have a few recipes posted on my Blog here:Nungkysman Sausages There are also a few lised on this forum but they are not always easy to search for!

Happy Sausage Making, let us know how you get on with them.

[William]

Wow. Some really interesting sausages in there. Thank you very much.

[William]

Many thanks for your help, here's some of the result. The little chips are Merguez with your wonderful Harissa. The others are an invention of my own based on your Chechen mutton recipe. They are lamb, apricot and rosemary which turned out wonderfully. They are sweet and delicious.

Kind regards.

Hi Just for interest, I had given to me 4 lamb shoulders last year and I very simply minced them down with a little breast of lamb, chopped some wild garlic (good flavour and nice to have the little green flecks), rosemary, salt and pepper and a couple of jars of rosemary jelly.

Cant wait to see if I get a few more this year!

Cheers WW

Hello Wizard. Love the idea of wild garlic, I have quite a lot near me (South Wales) and would like to try it. To you use the leaves or the root?
William.

[welsh wizard]

Hi Will

I used the leaves when I did it, in fact I have never used the root!

I am not too sure where you are in South Wales but there is a LOT of wild garlic growing on the banks of the Taff in Radyr.

Cheers WW

Thanks, Wizard, I'll find some this afternoon. I'm on the Welsh borders down near Chepstow.

Hi William - I have done some digging around and found that the wild garlic root is never used in cooking. I dont know why that is but evidently it is correct. Maybe they dont want to encourage the digging of them. Anyway I can tell you from experience that getting to a wild garlic root is not that easy...........

cheers WW

PS use plenty of leaves as they are no where near as strong as a garlic clove (cultivated)
