Cooking lamb. Secrets of juicy lamb

The characteristic smell prevents lamb from taking a confident place on our everyday table. Quite specific and persistent, it seems capable of ruining any dish. But, according to experienced cooks, you can fight it. Some housewives prefer to soak such meat before frying or stewing it. This is not the only way.

Homemade lamb preparation technique

  1. Choose young lamb meat if you cannot stand the characteristic “aroma”. It is completely absent in animals of dairy “maturity”, that is, lambs up to 3 months of age. This product has many other advantages. For example, the fat of young lamb contains valuable nucleic acid, so this lamb in the oven in foil will be tasty and healthy. During baking, this fat spreads evenly throughout the carcass, literally sealing the juices inside. Because of this, there is no need to marinate or use any spices other than classic salt and pepper. The product also has a drawback. Firstly, its price is 2 times higher than lamb of a different age, and secondly, it cannot be used to cook, for example, lamb ribs in the oven, since the recipe usually requires the use of large lamb ribs. But the stewed lamb will turn out amazing.
  2. If it is impossible to buy milk lamb, give preference to the meat of a young animal (up to 18 months). But it should also be processed: completely remove the fat, and if the smell is too pronounced, boil the meat or at least soak it, and only then bake it. It is better to cook the meat until half cooked. This is a good solution for dishes that do not require serving in a piece, for example, for lamb in a pot in the oven. But you shouldn’t hope that the smell will go away completely. It will become much less pronounced, but will still remain. The neck is well suited for stewing in a cauldron. You need to simmer over low heat. Lamb fillet stews quite quickly. It is also better to fry steaks after pre-processing the meat.
  3. Always marinate non-dairy lamb meat. Professional chefs, when asked how to marinate lamb for the oven, recommend adding cumin to it. This oriental spice has a subtle but rich aroma that can cope with the smell of lamb. Other Caucasian spices are also suitable, for example, cilantro, parsley, hops-suneli, cumin. They should be mixed with oil (vegetable), garlic, pepper. In this marinade, the meat is sent to the refrigerator for 4-6 hours. Also, lamb dishes in the oven love tomatoes, which can be used both in the marinade and during the cooking process.
  4. Lamb on the bone does not need to be baked until dry. Evidence of its readiness is the pink juice that is released when the carcass is punctured. Over-drying the meat on the bone will result in tough meat.

Lamb in the sleeve step by step

The most convenient solution for the first experiment with this meat is lamb baked in the oven in a sleeve or bag. Thanks to the casing, the carcass will not lose a drop of juice, it will cook much faster, and it will become soft. This technique can be used for roasting leg of lamb, tenderloin, that is, large pieces of carcass.

Use:

  • ram - up to 1.5 kg;
  • onion - 2 heads;
  • garlic - 4 cloves;
  • bay leaf, oregano, black peppercorns, basil;
  • olive oil;
  • hot pepper - 1 pod;
  • wine vinegar - ½ teaspoon.

Preparation

  1. Prepare the meat, stuff it with chopped garlic and bay leaves (break the leaves into crumbs). Rub with pepper and salt.
  2. Make a flavorful mixture of olive oil, vinegar, herbs, hot peppers and peas, and rub it over the meat.
  3. Chop the onion into rings and place in the sleeve. Place the meat on the onion “pillow”, shake and put in the refrigerator. This piece requires 4 hours to marinate and another 3 hours to bake. Oven temperature - 200°.

Lamb is a dietary meat, not a fatty meat, as many housewives believe. It has less fat and cholesterol than pork. Hearty pilaf and aromatic kebabs are just a few lamb dishes. Culinary secrets will help you make meat into a juicy, tasty and aromatic dish.

Cooking delicious lamb - meat selection and preparation

When purchasing, look at the color of the meat. The old ram's is dark. Choose light, tender flesh from young lamb. The most tender is the cut from the lower back and back. Ham is also suitable for any dish. The brisket will make a hearty pilaf and stew. The knuckle is used for jellied meat.

Lamb has a specific smell. Some useful tips to remove or muffle the smell:

  • marinate the meat before cooking. Marinating will remove the specific smell. Tomato or pomegranate juices, kefir, vinegar, soy sauce or other marinades are suitable. Marinate the lamb for 30-40 minutes. If you marinate longer, the meat will become tough;
  • trim fat from meat. The smell comes from him;
  • Before preparing any dish, soak the meat in cold water for half an hour. Change the water every 10 minutes. Another tip is to soak the meat in milk for an hour instead of water;
  • rinse the beef after soaking under hot water;
  • add seasonings to dishes. Fragrances will drown out the specific smell.

Photo of the Uyghur lagman I prepared, which I decided to make for many years due to the lack of “the only correct” and perfect recipe for this dish. From sources that more or less deserved respect, I only learned that lagman is a dish widespread in Central Asia, which has Uyghur, Uzbek, Dungan and Tajik varieties, which do not seem to differ fundamentally, but differ in the composition of the products, gravy liquid and characteristics preparing noodles (pulled, chopped, etc.). Lagman consists of two main parts: The first part is noodles (chuzma), the second is vaja, which gives the lagman its main taste and aroma. When I finally realized that some correct recipe for lagman simply does not exist in nature, I prepared the lagman shown in the photo.

This is a photo of the lula kebab I cooked at the dacha. The very idea of ​​​​preparing this wonderful dish originated a long time ago, but I was able to realize it only after I had a birch chock at my disposal, which I needed so much for manually chopping real minced meat for lula kebab (for which I use two meat hatchets). To prepare the lula kebab shown in the photo, I bought the hind leg of a young lamb and a solid piece of fat tail; the meat was manually chopped with hatchets into minced meat, then combined with finely chopped fat tail, and onions, cut into small cubes. Next, all the minced ingredients for lula kebab were kneaded very carefully and for a very long time (about 20 minutes) until a viscous substance was obtained, from which sausages were formed on skewers. Next, the lula kebab was baked on the grill until fully cooked. To be honest, when preparing lula kebab, I was very afraid that the meat would fall on the coals, but it seems that I did everything correctly, and everything worked out for me, and therefore, I am sharing a practice-tested recipe for lula kebab, which, moreover, , it turned out very tasty!

Photo of meat and potatoes that I cooked in a real cast iron cauldron, but on a gas stove. It was February, and in order not to freeze and not bother with the fire under the cauldron (and it would have to be maintained for about 2 hours, which would not be very easy for winter at minus 25-30), I used a gas stove. So, I set a cast-iron cauldron on gas, heated vegetable oil in it, then fried the potatoes and meat until golden brown, after which I put the potatoes and meat back into the cauldron, closed it with a lid and baked it with coarsely chopped onions and garlic for about an hour and a half. What you see in the photo is exactly what I got in the end. It was very tasty, and most importantly, this recipe for potatoes with meat is very simple.

Photo of beshbarmak, or rather its Kazakh variety (et). Well, of course, I couldn’t find kazy or shuzhuk at all in our market, but I was lucky enough to find a small piece of horse meat. Lamb, beef and horse meat are boiled in a cauldron for about two and a half hours. While the meat was boiling, I kneaded the stiff dough from which the noodles (diamonds) were made. The boiled diamonds were poured with the fat skimmed from the meat broth, after which the meat, previously stewed with onions and young garlic stalks, was laid out on the noodles. I won’t go so far as to say that I have created a recipe for a mega original and authentic dish, but it turned out really very tasty!

Photo of lamb stewed in wine. One day I had pieces of very fresh lamb at my disposal, and I wanted to not only cook them, but to make something very tasty and unearthly.

Photo of lamb, which I stewed along with vegetables at my friend’s dacha. Actually, there are no frills or hassles - we take good pieces of lamb (for example, loin, ribs or cutlets on the bone), quickly fry them on all sides in a cauldron, then generously sprinkle the fried lamb with chopped onions, close the lid and start simmering. Next we put carrots and tomatoes into the cauldron, add salt, add spices and that’s it! Our stewed lamb is completely ready; the meat is garnished with the vegetables it was cooked with. Well, a photo report of the preparation of what I just told you can be found here.

You won't believe it, but the photo shows lamb ribs that were stewed along with lamb pulp in a lot of onions. Excess fat is cut off from all parts of the meat, the ribs are cut and marinated in a Japanese marinade (I bought this marinade ready-made on my previous trips to the store), the meat is cut from the shoulder parts of the lamb, and the bones are sent to the ribs. Trimmed pieces of lamb meat are marinated in garlic and fresh tomatoes; Vegetables (onions, carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes) are fried in a cauldron WITHOUT OIL (to give them the appearance of baked vegetables); The ribs are fried in a cauldron, then pieces of trimmed lamb are sent to them, after which the meat is stewed with a lot of onions, and finally, vegetables fried without oil (with the exception of tomatoes) are added to the almost completely cooked meat. This is roughly how I prepared this dish, intricate in all respects.

Any dishes made from lamb take longer to prepare than from any other meat, but they turn out very satisfying and colorful. If young lamb is baked in the oven or fried as a shish kebab, then you should not overdo it with spices - they can easily kill the special taste of the tender meat.

I suggest you bake a leg or shoulder of young lamb. Tasty and juicy lamb meat will definitely please your family and the most picky guests...
