Starting the year off right.

Rack of Lamb.

This was a meal that never really popped until it hit the plate. The herb pesto really compliments the lamb well. I dont know why people like mint jelly, mint jelly is a negative association with lamb for me. Anyway here we go. Definitely let the lamb marinate in lemon juice, olive oil and rosemary.





is that garlic in the marinade too? I've never marinated mine.

Yes garlic in it too
That shyt looks bland as hell.

Throw some onion pieces in your charcoal, take your grilling to the next level.

I don't know what to tell you breh. It's a standard lamb recipe for the marinade. Of course a Lil kosher salt and pepper. It's not like a t bone steak or even ribs. The herb pesto is super fresh and flavorful to dip or top with

I'm just talking smack, it's probably good. I'm just from Louisiana, we like a lot of flavor on everything.

I just eyeballed the marinade...no precise measurements. I smashed and chopped 3 cloves of garlic, i zested (scraped the skin off) a lemon about a tablespoon or 2. i squeezed the full lemon and added about a teaspoon of fresh rosemary..let it coat the rack of lamb for about an hour, hour and a half. hit it with a lil kosher salt and pepper

then I seared the lamb first (about 2-4 mins per side) then grilled over indirect heat for 15 mins

I can't take credit for the herb pesto, my girl did that. I would have ate the lamb raw. The herb pesto was parm, garlic, pine nuts, oilive oil, maybe a lil butter and salt, some basil. I wasn't watching her but I remember the shyt she had out. having googled a couple recipes you can't really go wrong.

Lamb ribs





I low and slow grilled these bytches at 250 for 3 hours. It was the Lord's day for grilling the temp on the grill didn't budge. A lot different than pork or beef ribs. For seasoning I used thyme, garlic rosemary and salt. i did hit it with a glaze for the final 10 minutes which had black pepper crushed red pepper honey and white wine vinegar.

They were tender as hell however 1 rack had a lot of fat, even what I thought was thoroughly trimmed, while the other was practically all meat.

I have another rack im going to do sometime during the week or next sunday

Folks, if you try anything new or different this year I would advise grilling on a plank.

Tonight I did salmon on cedar...it was amazing. It's nothing like smoking with cedar or another type of wood, you could genuinely taste the wood on the meat, it was a sweet taste.dare I say I am as satisfied with this as I have been with any steak, ribs, brisket, chicken, lamb, etc. And there is zero effort, plus low cook time. (10-15 min tops)

You can plank steaks and pork chop too. Lately I've been all about fish.

Chicken breasts smoked/grilled on a hickory plank.

I did some boneless and some bone in. I lucked out and got some huge breasts for avg regular price. I had to do them justice this time. I let them marinate for about 4 hours then put them on the wood.

I swear it was clear and sunny as hell until I lit the charcoal then it started snowing...once I put the charcoal in the grill it became clear and sunny again. It was a good cook though.
