With this in mind, we are proud to announce that we are now carrying fresh lamb meat in all cut varieties.
The lamb comes our way from Hodge Ranch located in the Hill Country between Menard and Junction. You can read more about them by visiting their website http://hodgeranchtexas.com/.
Did you know that lamb is considered a nutritional powerhouse? For one it is a very lean meat rich in protein, zinc and vitamin B-12 two very important nutrients for optimal health.
Though the weather right now is not ideal for grilling, one of the easiest and tastiest ways to prepare lamb is on the grill.
From kebabs to lamb chops, you cannot go wrong. I have included a recipe for you to get started, but stop by the Market for a booklet featuring many more recipes.
Lamb Sirloin Kebabs with Meyer Lemon & Garlic
3 Garlic cloves
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 -1/2 tsp. sea salt
1 1/2 tsp. minced fresh rosemary
1 tsp red chile flakes
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 lbs. lamb sirloin steaks, cut into cubes about 3/4 inch thick
1 red onion, quartered and sliced
3 Meyer lemons, cut into 1/2 slices, seeds removed and halved
6 to 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water beforehand
In a bowl, combine garlic, oil, salt, rosemary, chile flakes and pepper. Add lamb cubes; marinate for 30 minutes.
Preheat grill to medium-high. Thread lamb, onion and lemons onto skewers. Grill to medium-rare, approx. 2-4 min on each side.
