#10DaysofTailgate: El Diablo'd Mango Lamb Lollipops + Give-away

It's here, it's here. It's finally kick-off day for our 10-day event full of tailgating goodness: #10DaysofTailgate. I wrangled over 20 creative bloggers who will collectively be posting over 120 recipes to inspire your tailgate menus for the entire season. 

Check back throughout the rest of the month as we'll be posting recipes daily from now till the end of September. Annnnnddd...there's a huge giveaway for fourteen lucky readers. Keep reading!


I decided to start with our favorite grilled bite: lamb lollipops. I love them. But I especially love that all I do is hand the meat to Jake, my Grill-Master, and it comes back exactly the way I wanted it. Thanks, my Love!


Ingredients
  • rack of lamb, sliced into individual pops
  • 1 T minced garlic
  • 1/2 C orange juice + 1/4 C 
  • 1/2 C beer
  • 1 T ginger spread
  • 1 T El Diablo Hot & Spicy Mustard*, Mango
  • fleur de sel to taste

Procedure
For a few hours, or overnight if you think about it early enough, marinate your lamb. To make the marinate, pour 1/2 C orange juice and beer into a mixing bowl and whisk in the minced garlic. Place the lamb in a lidded container and pour the marinate over the top. Flip the meat mid-way through the marinating time. Let come to room temperature before grilling. While the meat comes to room temperature, make your glaze.

To make the glaze, whisk together the remaining 1/4 C orange juice with the ginger spread and mustard.

If you can't find ginger spread, you can substitute with 1/2 t minced ginger and 1 T honey.

If you can't find El Diablo Hot & Spicy Mustards, use whatever spicy mustard you have on hand.

While the meat grills, baste it throughout.

Let rest for few minutes before serving.

  10. Maybe this will be the time that we will finally have lamb as my DH loves it but the rest of the family {yes me + our DDs} are not sold on it. These sounds and look delicious so maybe the time has come….

    Thank you so much for having me, Camilla.

  11. Mmm meat lollipops. You know I have never cooked my own rack of lamb? I've been meaning to and nearly picked up some at Costco but I just cringe a bit with the price. These look good enough to sway me to buy it though.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

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...
