Crock Pot Lamb's Breast

[Timothy]

I've never eaten or cooked Lamb's Breast.

I'd like to cook it in the crock pot and then pour off the grease and use the meat in a Lamb Stew.

How long should I cook it in the crock pot? I have a large crock pot that the entire breast will fit in, in two pieces.

Has anyone cooked one this way? If so, what else did you put in the crock pot with it?

I have to cook it in a manner that will allow me to freeze the leftovers. It's only me eating it and it looks like several meals worth.

Any suggestions are welcome!

createtv.com, Lidia (the Italian cook) did a Chima (sp) which is veal breast stuffed with fritatta. It looked really, really good. I'd think you could make it in the crockpot. The recipe should be on the createtv.com web site.

All I could find was the episode, (#322), that it is shown. I didn't see the recipe itself anywhere. It's been a long day, so I may have just missed it.

I have it in the freezer, so there isn't any rush. My freezer stays packed. Meat sale? Where?

I would could it low and slow.
Make a few small deep slits in the meat and push a whole clove of garlic in each slit. Fry up 2 nice big onions in large chunks and add to the pot, some chopped celery, and carrots.
Season lamb well. Drop in a bay leaf, some rosemary, thyme or any herbs you have on hand. Add a splash of W/Sauce for good colour and meaty flavour.
Just cover with stock and let it cook gently for 4 hours or more if you have time.

OMG! That sounds just delicious! Folks, we have a winner! It will go into the crock pot for a 10 hour slow-cook tomorrow!

Thanks!

I have no idea what a "Noddy Badge" is...but it sounds like an award, so I'll send you two! One for the recipe and one just because you're so friendly!

If you want some if it, just come to florida and take a left turn! I'm on the coast about 30 miles from Jacksonville!

"Noddy Badge" Is just a little saying we use "I didn't do much but thanks for the credit kind of thing"
Better make that really low and slow, it's going to be a long swim from Africa and I have no sense of direction!

And you are just as friendly

Thank you so much for the link!

I was on my "last legs" for the evening while trying to find it and as usual, I was a bit short of patience as I always am when I'm tired.

This is a wonderful method! It will be tried!

there's not much left of Florida north of Jacksonville, so from SA you'll want to turn right when you hit the coast, not left . . . . just for the 'in case' situation.....

Oh gosh darnit, I'm still bloody laughing like a lunatic!
Maybe the dream that a posted I had of getting lost in the Kalahari was some kind of premonition of my Kayak trip to help Timothy eat his lamb..lol!

I can just see you riding a little donkey hauling a cart loaded up with a kayak on top!

Whoops! Better take that last cake off the cart....

I did lamb breast last weekend and slow roasted it with ras el hanout rubbed onto it. It was lovely and the slow roasting made all the fat come out yet the meat was still as juicy as you'd expect from lamb.

 

[Timothy]

Hey Jenand, thanks for letting me know how it turns out roasted. If you could tell me exactly how you roasted it, I'll mimic your methods.

I slow cooked one in the Crock Pot today and here is what I turned out with:

1. Easily removed rib bones. Not so easily removed cartilage.

2. About 4 cups of beautiful, moist, awesomely flavored lamb meat.

3. Four cups of very loose but firm enough to lift with a fork; fat.

4. 3 quarts of broth that looks like its about 10% fat.

5. One pint of fat strained off the top of the broth.

I have the broth/fat in the fridge to separate tonight. Tomorrow, I'll remove the rest of the fat and pitch it all in the trash.

I'll end up with about 2.5 quarts of rich lambs broth and 4 cups of meat.

IMHO, not worth the effort. I won't be doing this one again.

I'll try an indirect cook in the BBQ maybe...

Worked out to $10 for 4 cups of meat and a lot of labor and cleanup.
