I wish I was there to help. I love boning lamb. We make a lot of lamb dishes, so I've had lots of practice. We are doing meatballs this week How do you make yours?
In the past I've just slathered the inside of the butterflied leg of lamb with a pesto made of ground walnuts, basil and parsley mixed with some olive oil and then roughly roll up the leg and roast it. Sometimes over potato wedges seasoned with salt, pepper and some dried rosemary.
There isn't a special recipe that I use. Just egg/s, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, sometimes sauteed onions and garlic and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Similar to the way I make my meatloaf.
You Tube has saved me on more than one occasion, what on earth did we all do before it? Although I really can't remember failing at too many things even without the tutorials, but it sure it helpful. Happy Easter to you Maria, that lamb sounds delicious. We're going the more traditional ham route, I ordered it on Saturday. I also bought a slicing machine so I'll be baking the ham in advance and cooling it so I can slice it really thinly. I've already used my slicing machine a few times so I think I'll probably end of keeping it (was on sale at Walmart). Keep warm, we're expecting snow tomorrow morning!

The slicing machine sounds like a nifty gadget for someone who gives parties and needs to have consistent thickness of slices. Ham is great. I cooked mine a couple of weeks ago and froze 4 portions away so I was going to make either duck or turkey from my freezer. And then I saw the lamb in the FB flyer. :)
I wish I could say the same thing but after 70 deg F weather last week, the temperature is dropping 30 deg F tonight and we have 1-3 inches of snow fall predicted overnight and into tomorrow morning (Tues). What the heck!!!
It was overcast for much of the afternoon and started raining around 7pm. I hoped that's all it would be but around 12:30am the snow started. So depressing.
I'm making roast leg of lamb, roast veggies (potato, carrot, and pearl onions) and french green beans for our Easter Feaster. I'm also going to get some red wine, mint jelly, and some sort of sweet treat for dessert. I'm excited to cook for all our housemates!
The quiche and quince looked delightful - I am SO CLOSE to having my own kitchen again, and am very excited to get cookin'!!!
My bagel recipe is quite easy. I haven't made them in ages and miss the taste.
Sounds like a great Easter meal. I don't know if there will be dessert or what it will be. Lots of time to plan based on what the weekend flyers will carry. The quince tart was better than my first taste of the individual tart led me to believe and there is still 3/4 of it left in my freezer.
Oh, those bagels look great! Maybe I can try making them when we have our kitchen all set up.
I've been jonesing for key lime pie - I won't be making it for easter, but I WILL be making it before spring is out! Tyler and I also aim to make gnocchi and tamales together this year. And OMG, can't wait to have the smoker/bbq back again!!!
Other than in a restaurant, I've never had key lime pie. I've never seen key limes sold locally. As to the gnocchi and tamales ... I've made both and must really make a second batch of gnocchi now that I've learned a bit more about the technique. Although I let the steamer boil dry at one point, my first tamale making effort was a big success.
I have never boned a lamb leg... But I am becoming a speed expert in chicken cutting ;-) (Though I'm not sure if it's very professional...). I do it in five minutes ;-) You have reminded me I must buy lamb for Easter! The salmon bowl looks really cute. Sissi (http://www.withaglass.com)
