I haven't cooked or eaten Lamb for about 12 years
, (never smoked it) and I'm wondering if anyone has a seasoning blend which will tame-down the gamey flavor. I figured on doing a cold smoke & sear over a charcoal fired kettle grill...great for any smaller pieces of meat, and the thickness of the chops remains unknown at this time.
I got my hands on some cheap (well, free) meat today from the parent of a kid who's been staying at our house for awhile:
The English Roast will likely be attending a jerky session, along with my slicer. The GB, may or may not be too high of fat content for a jerky ride...that'll be decided when I get some thawed out and have a look at it...cold smoked/seared burgers is a mighty tasty and quick back-up plan to have, if needed. Got that end covered.
Anyway, the Lamb Chops might kick my rear-end...been too long and I never really spent enough time cooking it to have a good method (until now) or seasonings for it. My two oldest boys will probably eat it along with myself...I don't think I can convince the ladies or youngest boy of the house that it's good eating, but, I'll try...
Does rosemary, garlic, CBP, onion, kosher salt and a touch of basil with cherry/apple smoke sound about right?
Thanks for any tips/opinions on seasonings, as I have no other ideas for what will go well with lamb springing up to bite me at this point in time.
