Lamb, although already full of flavours, can withstand the addition of seasonings without losing its own taste. Lamb goes so well with a lot of herbs and is so delicious when made into Mediterranean burgers. Just add fire and it turns into a perfect meal.
We've had a spate of freaky, super blustery weather last week after having an unusually mild start to the winter. Apart from the weather being worrying and disturbing, it wreaked havoc on tv aerials and satellite dishes.
Leg of lamb is a family favourite. We have it twice a year: for my daughter's birthday and for Easter Sunday. It can be rather pricey so it isn't something we eat all the time. When I found that leg of lamb was on offer at the supermarket, I decided to take advantage of it and have an extra this year.
By and large, Filipino food is fusion. Countries that have been a part of Philippine history have left an indelible mark on the local cuisine. A lot of Filipino dishes are of Spanish and Chinese origin but have been given a twist to adapt the recipe to Filipino taste.
Go potty for this winter warmer. There's nothing like the smell of a slow braise bubbling in the cooker as you putter around doing your chores. You know that at the end of it all you are going to sit down to a delicious meal and listen to your family rave about it.
