Meat Lesson #2

Hey Everyone!

For my 2nd meat lesson we made:

-Roast Shoulder of lamb
-Navarin of Lamb - (made from leftover shoulder meat)
-Chicken Ballotine

This is the chicken Ballotine. We had to take out the chicken leg bone ourselves which was a great thing to be taught! This will be a handy skill for the future

Roast Lamb - This is from the lamb shoulder.

To make this roast we took apart the shoulder from scratch. This was completely new to me so I had no idea what I was doing! Lucky I had people to help and show me how to do it! I can't wait to do this again since I am more confident at it now. We stuffed it with a herbed breadcrumb stuffing - yummy.

Bones out

 Ready to roll

All tied up to roast.

Let me know if you have any questions about this lesson.
Hope everyone has had a great week!

Meat Lesson #1

My first Meat lesson for the year!! woo hoo!

okay so maybe not really "woo hoo" since meat isn't my first choice of favourite food. But... I did learn A LOT in this lesson which was great!

The dishes we made in the lesson were,

-Lamb cutlets with polenta roulade
-Shank of Lamb with Rice risotto
-Rack of Lamb
-Saute chicken chasseur with a mushroom sauce

For the lamb cutlets and rack we had to french our own rack which was a new experience for me since the racks I usually have at home are french racks.

We also had to take apart a chicken and its individual pieces for the saute chicken. (another new experience)

Shank of Lamb with rice risotto

This was the first time I had ever cooked lamb shanks and it was easier than I thought :)

Lamb Cutlets with polenta roulade
I'm not a big fan of polenta but this was a cool way of serving it :)

This is the Rack of lamb with a mustard and herb crumb and fried potatoes.

(sorry about the parmesean cheese in the background... :O )
