Hey, ya know, we just met, and this may seem weird, but can I come live with you? I can clean animals and cook stuff!

Holy crap! All of that looks wonderful!

Absolutely. Just bring some of that great Texas beef.

Heh! That's a tempting offer

I also found the thymus amongst the organs. Cooked it with the brains.

Poached first to firm up. Trimmed some bits.

All the various sweetbreads are wonderful and it's shame they're typically not even for sale.

Can I venture to guess you're of Greek heritage?

You would be wrong.

I know some Greeks who go through the whole lamb like that.

 

[atomicsmoke]

It's done like that throughout Eastern and Southeastern Europe. I am from Transylvania (Romania).

Well Atomic I just read through this thread and wow.......  That's amazing the things you have done with the lamb.... That is A Definite point....

 I work with a couple Geologists from Romania who introduced me to Mititei sausages, we actually just made our own last week and turned out great. But now I am getting some ideas for the lamb dishes....... Thx.

Canuck,

I saw your sausagemaking adventure with Opa. Great thread.
Mititiei are excellent grill fare. I wonder if you used sheep meat and bone broth in the mix?

 

[ab canuck]

We used Lamb, Pork and venison,  Our red meat is always Moose, Elk or venison. We very seldom buy any beef, I may try it with the next batch. I have not found any recipes using a broth for this sausage and the one I was given used water/ club soda. Do you do something different or just substitute the broth for the liquid part? Thx for comment. Charlie
