Easy American Lamb Marinades
To follow the articles on American Lamb and Lamb Kabobs, I thought I would add a few ideas for easy lamb marinades.
American lamb requires very little seasoning. Simply use salt, pepper, lemon, or oregano on butterflied leg, kebabs, chops, or lamb burgers. Cook to 145 degrees for medium rare, 160 for medium, or 170 for well done. Personally, somewhere between medium and medium rare is perfect to me. Here are some quick and easy marinade ideas for lamb. Use your marinade for at least an hour or overnight if you can.
Mint Raspberry - Combine 1/3 cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint, and 1 garlic clove, minced.
Soy Ginger - Combine 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup honey, 1 teaspoon grated gingerroot, and 1 garlic clove, minced.
Yogurt Curry - Combine 1/3 cup plain yogurt, 2 teaspoons curry powder, 1 garlic clove, minced and 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon pepper.
Burgandy Lamb - 4 medium minced onions, 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, 4 teaspoons black pepper, 4 teaspoons salt, 2 cloves crushed garlic, and 2 cups burgundy wine
Try American lamb from American land and support the American farm & ranch industry.
