Top 10 Lamb Recipes

The Most Popular and Best Lamb Recipes at Barbecue & Grilling

By Derrick Riches, About.com

I've always said that Lamb is the most overlooked meat on the market. This wonderful meat is the mainstay of some of the oldest cooking traditions on earth and now something people turn up a nose to without even trying. This is truly a shame. Lamb (and mutton) makes a great meal from Owensboro Mutton Barbecue to leg of lamb to lamb chops to rack of lamb. Trust me on this and try one of these great lamb recipes. You will find yourself searching out lamb again and again.

1. Herb and Garlic Lamb Loin Chops

This lamb recipe has a very Greek-style to it. These lamb chops are loaded with tenderness and flavor. Be sure to get the loin chops versus regular lamb chops.

2. Greek Marinated Leg Of Lamb

This is a classic Greek style rotisserie leg of lamb. A great meal for any occasion or holiday, such as Easter. This lamb is so good you'll want to celebrate Tuesday with it.

3. Balsamic Herb Lamb Chops

This is a quick way to make delicious lamb chops. The combination of flavors will make those who don't like lamb come back for more.

4. Grilled Rack of Lamb

Doc Donald posted this recipe for a rack of lamb on the grill. The marinade gives this lamb a deliciously tart and sweet flavor.

5. Rosemary Lamb Chops

This is a simple grilled lamb chop recipe to prepare and an easy make ahead meal.

6. Leg of Lamb

This is a classic, rotisserie leg of lamb with a great marinade, which will result in a perfect, boneless lamb leg, great for any occasion.

7. Indian-Style Lamb Chops

These grilled lamb chops are marinated in an Indian-style marinade and cooked hot and fast. This dish goes well with rice or grilled vegetables.

8. Butterflied Leg of Lamb

This leg of lamb recipe from the American Lamb Board is a great way to grill up a leg of lamb without a rotisserie and without having to worry about drying out the lamb before the center gets cooked. Typically a boneless leg of lamb is already butterflied but you want to make sure that it has a uniform thickness so it will cook evenly.

9. Mustard Covered Rack of Lamb

These racks of lamb are coated in a garlic flavored, mustard marinade then seared on the grill. You can finish them off indirectly to keep the surface moist while the inside gets cooked through.

10. Lamb Chops Dijon

The combination of the mustard, orange, and thyme really makes these lamb chops fantastic. Put them on a hot grill and cook until slightly well done. Allow chops to rest for a minute before you serve them up.
