I have done Greek lamb for the last three Easter Sundays. While I love Greek lamb, I wanted to do something different for this year. After looking at dozens of recipes on-line I could not find any that really grabbed me.

Karl’s Lamb Sliders
The Mercury News had a recipe for turkey sliders this week. Sliders are mini-burgers about two to three inches across. Jan decided she wanted some for dinner. I had some left over lamb from Sunday’s dinner, so I suggested using it for the sliders. While it was not quite what she wanted, she agreed, if I would make fresh buns.

Karl’s Moroccan Lamb Stuffed Artichokes and Peppers
Adapted from a Destination Anywhere recipe
It is son-in-law Chris’ birthday week and he has asked for Moroccan. Last year I made an oxtail tajine. He loved it, but it was a bit too oily for Jan. I decided to look for something else Moroccan.

Karl’s Mongolian Lamb Lettuce Wraps
The Cantonese word for lettuce (生菜, san1 choi3) sounds like rising fortune. Lettuce wraps are an auspicious dish to serve on the New Year. These wraps can be filled with anything you would like to put in them. Lamb is an auspicious dish for my family—it is kind of a Lueck thing. I plan to fill my lettuce wraps with Mongolian lamb.

Karl’s Shepherd’s Minced Pie
Jan is still eating soft food, but she is getting tired of smoothies. A few weeks ago, I made a Thanksgiving chopped turkey shepherd’s pie for her brother, who is also having difficulty chewing. Today, I thought I would make a lamb version for Jan.

Karl’s Greek Broiled Lamb
A visiting sister gives me a good excuse to bring back some of my best dishes from the year. The Greek barbequed lamb, and Karl’s Greek Lemon Pilaf that I made for Easter were really successful. However I was sure I could make them even better. A cold green bean salad would complete the meal.

Karl’s Scotch Broth
Jan has her favorite soups, but Scotch broth is mine. Jan does not like it at all. This is something I make when she is off on a conference, like this week. Lamb, barley, and leeks, for anyone who is even a bit Scot it is paradise. (Hey, what can I say, I even like Haggis.)

Karl’s Kūbide (Kofta) Meatballs in Red Pepper Sauce
One thing I like to do is play with my food. I like to take a traditional recipe and do strange things to it. Last week I made an English shepherd’s pie, but I made it with an Indian flare. I was watching a show the other day about how every culture has its own version of meatballs, usually with a sauce. I though why not do Persian kūbide as a meatball with sauce?

Karl’s Lamb, Oyster Mushroom, and Romaine Stir-fry
Jan and Eilene are still in England So I am still cooking for one. I got tired of tongue so I froze the last of it. If you ever make tongue make sure there are enough people to eat three pounds of meat in a meal or two.

Karl’s Uyghur Shashlik
Shashlik is really just the Central Asian name for a kabob, something on a skewer. In Kashgar, at least on the street, this is almost always lamb coated in a cumin based spice blend. Lamb is cut into small (3/8 inch) cubes and skewered with bits of lamb fat. The stick is dipped into a tray of the spice blend and then grilled over hot coals. While the kabab is on the grill, the seller uses a fan to boost the heat of the coals and picks up some of the sticks to baste the skewers still on the grill with the rendering lamb fat dripping from them. If you like the crispy crust of grilled lamb you will be mad about these.
Shashlik is usually eaten with naan. For this meal, I am also making a carrot salad, a tomato and cucumber salad, pickled cauliflower, and fruit skewers to go with the bread and lamb.
