weight off week 16
Apr. 24th, 2011 10:26 pmLooking around my blog this week, there seems to be as many people as frustrated with this weight crap as I am. Sigh. I have not lost. I have not gained. I think my body is content at this weight even if I am not. Listen body, this is not healthy.
Here have the recipe I used for Easter this year.
Moroccan-style roast leg of lamb
2 tbs – finely chopped fresh mint
3 garlic cloves
1 tbs lemon juice
1 tbs olive oil
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
(if desired, rosemary and oregano can be added and give it a more Greek flavor)
1 (2 pound) leg of lamb
1. preheat over to 375
2. stir together all the ingredients besides the lamb in a cut then rub the mixture all over the lamb leg
3. place lamb on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast until instant-read thermometer (in the thickest part) reads 145F @ 1 ½ hours. Transfer to cutting board and let stand for 10 minutes then cut.
NOTE: you can do this with lamb loins and chops too. Only up the lemon juice and olive oil to make a marinade. Put chops/loins in and marinate in the refridgerator for 1 hour. Cook/grill as suggested on the packaging. Loins are usually broil/grill 5 minutes per side. Chops are usually 3 minutes per side.
272 cal, no carbs though the fat content will include saturated fats (with it being meat and all)
for that matter
Lamb loin, fried zucchini (because the real planned veggie rotted unexpectedly and I was feeling lazy) and a mint-yogurt sauce for dipping.
