Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb. Look for lamb that is bright red and firm to the touch. Avoid lamb that is dull in color or has a slimy texture.
  • Marinate the lamb. Marinating the lamb helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme is a good option.
  • Cook the lamb slowly. Lamb is a tough meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly in order to become tender. The best way to cook lamb is to braise it, which is a method of cooking in a covered pot with a small amount of liquid.
  • Don't overcook the lamb. Lamb is best when it is cooked to medium-rare or medium. If you overcook it, it will become tough and dry.
  • Serve the lamb with a flavorful sauce. A flavorful sauce can help to enhance the flavor of the lamb. You can use a variety of sauces, but a classic choice is a mint sauce.

Conclusion:

New England lamb bake is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The lamb is braised in a flavorful sauce and then served with vegetables and potatoes. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
