cooking

[redbird]

Tonight's dinner was lamb patties, with rice and sauteed scallions and bell pepper. Earlier in the day, it occurred to me that I could skip the cooked vegetables and just have lamb, rice, and a half sour pickle. When it came time to cook, I decided it would be mentally easier to make something I've done dozens of times, even though it's more actual work, than to vary the menu. So, that was tasty, and we had different vegetables for lunch and for dinner, which feels like an accomplishment this time of year.

(Posting this more as "oh, that's how my brain works" than because the food was new or noteworthy.)

Yum! In my experience Lamb is really lean. DO you put a little oil in the pan?

Yes, usually olive oil, but there's a lot of variation in how fatty ground lamb is, to the point that I sometimes have to pour off part of the fat once it's been cooking for a little while.
