By , About.com Guide

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. 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.

3. 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.

4. Lamb Burgers with Mint

These minty lamb burgers work well served either on pita bread or a bun. If you are using pita, a nice yogurt sauce with cilantro would enhance the already delicious flavor of the meat. Experiment with condiments and see what works best for you.

5. Ground Lamb on Skewers

This is a very old and traditional Middle Eastern recipe. The trick is getting the meat to hold onto the skewers. Be gentle with them. As they cook the meat will harden and hold fast. You can serve these lamb kebabs by themselves of with a grilled pita and yogurt sauce.
