Oven Roasted Boneless Lamb Shoulder |
Well, February 14th was not only Valentine's Day but also my dear friend Angie's birthday. She is like a sister to me and I wanted to invite her over for dinner. My sister and nephew were also coming over. I had planned on making my
Oven Roasted Chicken in Decadent Garlic Sauce but the day before, my sister, Kim was out shopping and she called me to tell me she saw some lamb at a good price and would I like her to get the lamb for us. We all love lamb but it is really expensive here so I don't cook it as often as I would like. Of course I said yes, and she brought it by to me on her way home. It was really delicious. I served it with
Vermicelli Rice, a green salad and
Carrots with Garlic Yogurt.
