Went to Wally World the other day and saw what appeared to be little tiny baby back ribs. Upon closer inspection, the package was called "Lamb Breast". I'd had this before, but without the ribs attached. I figured it'd be a good candidate for a dip in the sous vide jacuzzi.
Started off at 132 but raised it to 150 after a little thinking about how tough lamb breast was the last time I had it. Plus I do baby backs at 150, so figured it couldn't hurt.
Let them soak for about 4 hours, then on to the mini with some chicken thighs.
This was towards the end after I'd sauced 4 of the 6 thighs, and painted the lamb with some melted mint jelly. Total time on the mini was just under 2 hours at 300.
Had to have some veggies. Basted these with some Raspberry Vinagrette as they grilled.
Then plated up and chowed down! Lamb was good but not great. Could have used another few hours in the bath or on the smoker. Wasn't horribly tough, but a tad on the chewy side. Chicken was delicious!
Thanks for lookin!
