#10Daysof Tailgate: Grilled Lemongrass Lamb

By

As this marathon tailgating event - #10DaysofTailgate - draws to a close, I decided to celebrate by handing off some lamb chops to my Grill Master and kicking up my feet with a cold beer in my hand! Works for me! And Jake was excited that he finally got to use his new ThermoPop from ThermoWorks.*


Ingredients makes 2
  • 2 lamb chops
  • 1 t lemongrass, recommended Gourmet Garden Herbs & Spices
  • 1 T garlic, recommended Gourmet Garden
  • freshly ground salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • sesame oil for drizzling
  • 1 T fresh parsley

Procedure
Let meat come to room temperature. In the meantime, rub each lamb chop with 1/4 t lemongrass on each side and 1/4 T garlic on each side. Sprinkle with freshly ground salt, freshly ground pepper, and fresh parsley. Drizzle with sesame oil. Let meat stand while you heat the grill - at least 10 to 15 minutes.

Grill till desired doneness. For lamb, that meant (for medium well) 165°F; USDA recommends 170 °F. Thanks to the Thermopop...it was easy to do!


Speaking of the ThermoPop...
Let's be real: ThermoWorks sent me the ThermoPop for participating in this event, but it's not mine. As soon as I opened it, it was out of the box and secured in Jake's grill tools drawer. No joke. I had to dig it out, shove it back in the package to take a photo, and then put it back in his drawer.

Thank you, ThermoWorks, my husband loves your ThermoPop. And thanks, too, for sponsoring this event. I have a full product review scheduled in October along with another - bonus! - giveaway. Dear readers, enter the giveaway (below) to see if you can win a ThermoPop of your own!

    I love lamb unfortunately hubby doesn't so I only get it when we go out to dinner or on Easter when it is included among the 4 other meat dishes.

    Big lamb and lemongrass fan here, and the ThermoPop would guarantee my drillmaster wouldn't overcook this taste treat.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
