Although acclaimed by connoisseurs and ethnic cooks, lamb is missing from the dinner menu in too many homes. It can only be assumed that lack of widespread popularity is occasioned by unfamiliarity. For when properly pre pared and served, lamb wins appetites and hearts at American tables just as it has around the world for centuries. It’s time we became better acquainted with this fine meat. Appealing to America's growing gourmet palate, lamb is destined to achieve the popularity it merits. Today’s lamb is of especially high eating quality — tender and of distinctive, yet delicate, flavor. It is, in fact, much superior to the lamb served at the White House in our country’s youth. For it was after sheep raising Went west to the Rockies that the market value of sheep shifted from wool to meat and the modern era of breeding and feeding lamb for the table began. The result was heavier yet young lamb, providing tender, meatier cuts. Today's lamb, bigger and better than ever, supplies more meat in relation to bone, making it a better buy. Lamb provides a flock of fine entrees. Possibly the most prestigious is Lamb Rib Roast. This elegant roast was a favorite at the table of Thomas Jefferson, America’s gourmet president. Other candidates for special menus are Dilly Lamb Kabobs and Sunny Lamb Chops. Economical blade chops, like the more familiar rib and loin chops, are delicious when broiled, especially when glazed with a minted orange sauce. You also can rely on braising and cooking in liquid to produce a wonderful variety of lamb dishes. For a tasty example, try Spicy Lamb Stew. Lamb is as nutritious and as easily prepared as any meat. You may find that your family, like many gourmet diners, prefers lamb rare to medium rather than well done. For guidance, check the cookery time tables below. And remember, when cooking frozen lamb, allow 1/3 to 1/2 again as long as when cooking meat that has not been frozen or that has been defrosted. Lamb Rib Roasts 2 lamb rib roasts, 2 to 3 pounds each Place roasts, fat side up, on rack in open roasting pan. Insert roast meat thermometer in one roast so the tip is centered in thickest part and does not rest in fat or on bone. Do not add water. Do not cover. Roast in a moderate oven (375 F.) to desired degree of doneness: 140° F. for rare; 160°F. for medium; 170°F. to 180 F. for well done. Allow 25 to 30 minutes per pound for rare; 30 to 35 minutes per pound for medium; 35 to 40 minutes per pound for well done. Note: Remove "fell" (thin paper-like covering) from lamb rib roasts if retailer has not already done so. Mint Meringue Apricots 1 can (16 ounces) apricot halves 1/4 cup mint jelly (unpeeled), drained 3 or 4 drops green 1 egg white food coloring Place apricot halves, cut side up, in baking pan or utility dish. Beat egg white until foamy; add jelly, a very small amount at a time, beating after each addition. Add food coloring, a drop at a time, and continue beating until stiff. Top apricot halves with meringue and bake in a slow oven (325” F. for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Dilly Lamb Kabobs 2 pounds lamb cubes for kabobs 2 teaspoons salt (1-1/2-inch pieces) 1-1/2 teaspoons dill weed 1 can (8-1/4 ounces) pineapple 3 large carrots, cut in chunks in heavy syrup 1-inch pieces 1/2 cup lemon juice 1 green pepper, cut in 1/4 cup oil 1-inch pieces 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon cornstarch Drain pineapple chunks; reserve syrup and combine with lemon juice, oil, brown sugar, salt and dill weed in small saucepan. Cook slowly 5 minutes, stirring to dissolve sugar. Cool. Place lamb cubes in plastic bag; add marinade, mixing to coat cubes. Close bag securely (pressing out air); place in utility dish and marinate in refrigerator 2 hours or overnight. When ready to prepare kabobs, cook carrots in boiling salted water 12 minutes or until just tender. Remove meat from marinade and pour marinade over carrots and green pepper. Drain marinade from vegetables, combine with cornstarch in small saucepan and cook, stirring constantly until thickened. Thread lamb cubes on six 15-inch skewers alternately with pieces of carrots, pineapple and green pepper. Place skewers on rack in broiler pan so surface of meat is 3 inches from heat. Broil 5 minutes; turn and broil second side 5 minutes. Brush lamb and vegetables with sauce and broil 2 to 3 minutes; turn, brush with sauce and continue broiling 2 to 3 minutes or to doneness desired. 6 servings. Spicy Lamb Stew 2 to 2-1/2 pounds lamb for 1 small bay leaf stew, cut in 1-irich pieces 1 can (16 ounces) tomatoes 1/4 cup flour 1 medium onion, cut 1-1/2 teaspoons salt into wedges 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon oregano 1/8 teaspoon pepper 1/4 cup water 3 tablespoons cooking fat 2 packages (9 ounces each) 1 cup water frozen green beans* Combine flour, salt, cinnamon and pepper; dredge lamb cubes, reserving excess flour. Brown meat in cooking fat; pour off drippings. Add 1 cup water and bay leaf to meat, cover tightly and cook slowly 20 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Drain tomatoes; reserve liquid and break tomatoes in pieces. Add tomato liquid, onion and oregano to meat and cook slowly, covered, 1 hour. Blend reserved flour with 1/4 cup water and use to thicken stew. Add tomatoes and continue cooking 5 minutes. Cook frozen green beans according to package directions; drain and stir into stew. 6 to 8 servings. *One pound fresh green beans, broken in pieces, may be substituted for the frozen beans. Add fresh beans to stew with the tomato liquid, and cook until meat and beans are tender. Sunny Lamb Chops 6 lamb blade chops, cut 1 clove garlic, minced 3/4-inch thick 1 cup orange juice 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 tablespoon lime juice 2 teaspoons cornstarch 1 orange 1 teaspoon salt Salt 1/2 teaspoon mint leaves Pepper Combine brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, mint leaves and garlic in small saucepan. Gradually add orange juice and lime juice and cook slowly for 10 minutes, stirring until thickened. Cut slice from each end of orange and cut orange crosswise into 6 slices. Slit each slice from center through edge on one side. Place chops on rack in broiler pan so surface of meat is 3-inches from heat. Broil 5 minutes, season with salt and pepper, turn and broil 4 minutes and season with salt and pepper. Turn chops, brush with sauce and broil 3 minutes; turn and brush with sauce. Twist each orange slice and place on top of a chop and brush with sauce. Continue broiling 3 minutes or to doneness desired. 6 servings.
