Time 40m

Yield 15-20 Lamb Popsicles

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 -3 french cut racks of lamb (with the bone cleaned down to the chop)
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup grainy yellow mustard
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons crushed garlic
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 liter whipping cream
1 tablespoon dried fenugreek leaves (known as 'kasuri methi')
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Cut the racks of lamb into the'popsicles' by slicing the chops in between the bones.
  • Mix the white wine, mustard and salt together in a large bowl, then add the popsicles, turning to coat them on all sides.
  • Cover and set aside in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the whipping cream, salt, paprika, cayenne, fenugreek flakes and lemon juice.
  • In a medium-sized, heavy pot, sauté the crushed garlic in the canola oil.
  • Once the garlic is golden in colour, add the turmeric, stir and heat for one minute.
  • Add the whipping cream mixture, stir and heat on low to medium heat for a few minutes.
  • (the water in the whipping cream will evaporate, thickening the sauce. If your heat is too high, the cream will separate.) If making the sauce a day ahead, let the garlic mixture cool completely, then add to the cream mixture and refrigerate.
  • Thicken the sauce close to serving time by heating gently.
  • Grill the popsicles just before you are ready to serve your meal.
  • You can either pour the cream curry over the grilled popsicles or use it as a dipping curry for them.

Time 25m

Yield 8 to 12 skewers

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 pound ground lamb
1 tablespoon grated garlic
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 small onion, minced
1 green chili, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped green mango
1 tablespoon dried fenugreek leaves
1 tablespoon garam masala
1 teaspoon cardamom seeds

MARINATED LAMB "POPSICLES" WITH FENUGREEK CREAM



Marinated Lamb

This is the recipe of my friend Vikram Vij, whose Vancouver restaurant, Vij's, is among the best Indian restaurants in North America. Other cuts of meat you can use here: Beef tenderloin (filet mignon), cut into medallions. Pilaf (page 513), Dal (page 433), and other standard Indian accompaniments would do nicely here.

Yield makes 4 servings as main course, 8 as starter

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 racks of lamb, 8 ribs each, or 16 rib chops
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup grainy yellow mustard
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons corn, grapeseed, or other neutral oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons dried green fenugreek flakes (kasuri methi) or ground fenugreek
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Cut the racks into individual ribs; combine in a bowl with the wine, mustard, and a large pinch of salt. Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours.
  • When you're ready to cook, start a charcoal or gas grill or preheat the broiler; the fire should be quite hot and the rack 2 to 4 inches from the heat source (a little farther away if you're using the fattier shoulder chops). Put the oil in a small pot over medium heat and add the garlic. As the garlic turns golden, add the turmeric and cook, stirring constantly, for about a minute. Add the cream, fenugreek, cayenne, lemon juice, and paprika and turn the heat to low. Keep warm while you grill the ribs.
  • Grill the ribs quickly, just a couple of minutes per side (3 or 4 minutes for shoulder chops). Serve, either doused with the cream sauce or with the sauce on the side for dipping.
