A new ground lamb recipe

Last Saturday, Triple Creek Farm joined us at the Frostville Market.  We offered samples of a ground lamb recipe, and so many people wanted to recipe, I told them I would post it this week.

We had planned on grilling lamb patties, but it was simply way too hot to stand beside a grill all day!  As I said before, I don't have a lot of lamb recipes in my repertoire, and I've already done a couple to use for samples at the market...so I went searching for something different, and this is what I came up with:  It's very quick and easy!

Seasoned Lamb and Potatoes

1 lb. ground lamb
2 cups (approx.) diced or shredded potatoes (I used frozen potatoes to save time, and the shredded ones will cook a bit faster)
1 small onion, diced
1/2 jalapeno pepper, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 or 2 stems of fresh rosemary, minced
1 tsp. salt
2 or 3 dashes of pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp turmeric

1.  Heat a heavy skillet and add the lamb, potatoes, onion, and pepper.  (If your lamb is very lean, use a bit of coconut or other oil, but I didn't use any oil.)  Cook and stir until meat is brown.
2.  Add garlic and rosemary and cook a few more minutes.
3.  Add salt, pepper, paprika, and turmeric and stir well.

That's it!!  You can adjust the amount of each ingredient to your liking.  I actually used quite a bit less seasoning than the original recipe called for (amounts listed here are close to what I used - I didn't measure exactly), and it was delicious...enough that the recipe was in demand!

When equipment breaks down...

When we make maple syrup, the finished product goes from the evaporator into a stainless steel insulated collection container, then through a filter press into a canning box.  The canning box keeps the syrup at the right temp for bottling (180 degrees) as we dispense it into jars and seal them.  It's a continuous process that can't be shut down instantaneously.  You can't turn off a wood fire (in the evaporator) that's burning at 800 degrees or more.Last week one day, our syrup filter press broke, and we had to make an emergency trip to a nearby small repair shop.  It was a bit stressful trying to slow the fire down enough to interrupt the process for a half hour or so!  But we did it and everything turned out fine.  Whew!  Good thing we have a great team!!Then it happened again a couple days later...this time in the evening - after hours for the repair shop.  Now what?!?!  Fortunately we were able to reach of someone from the repair shop and they accommodated us in our emergency.  Once again...we are so grateful for community/neighbors/people who work together and help each other out in times of need.  (Remember "When the cows escaped"?!)  Farm life 🙂!!Pretty sure it's welded good and tight now!!
