Lambs fry ?

[JDarvall]

I've found yesterday a renewed feeling of strength from a feed of lambs fry.....something that seems to happen everytime I eat the stuff.....don't know why, it sounds a bit strange .....maybe protein content or something.........anyhow I'd like to discover the best way to serve it.......when I tried it recently It came in a stew.....too wet, feels too much like how it looks before you cook it :eek: ......how I remember having it was fryed in a way that was a lot dryer......

anyway any suggestions on how to cook the stuff.........ta

[RETIRED]

Slice thinly and fry it.

Goes great with onion gravy and bacon.

[Ashore]

Go to Cha Cha restraunt in the junction Newcastle they have a line up every morning for it and regulary run out.
I dont know why I can't stand the stuff myself . Then again some people don't like good hunter Valley Reds, hey go figure


The trouble with life is there's no background music.

My wife is a lovely lady but she could never cook Lamb's Fry like Mum did with onion gray and mashed spuds... yum.

[Simomatra]

Do as says just rollit in flour before you fry it. This helps to thicken the gravy if you want. Best not to over cook as it turns out like rubber

[DanP]

It doesn't matter if you slice it thinly or chop it into cubes, the dogs don't care.

IMO that's all it's good for.

[Iain]

What Dan said :(

[outback]

's right.

Slice thinly, coat in flour, cornflour is the best.
then saute in butter. VERY slowly over a low heat.
Cook it too fast and it goes tough and leathery.

Nah, I don't feed my dog anywhere near that well :rolleyes:

Those of you who are denigrating the ovine truffle, lambs fry, can only have been born without taste buds. Cook it as , Simonatra & Outback say, and it is the breakfast, lunch & dinner of the gods. The only reason that women don't like it is that it is so good it's reserved for men and men alone! To feed it to your dog is sacrelidge!

[Landseka]

dont forget a good soak & wash in salty water prior to cooking, it cleans the residue blood out of it.

Thanks for reminding me Apricotripper, I just went out & bought some to make for tea.

Liver in red wine sauce

450 grams / 1 lb pork liver (8 slices)
80 grams / 3 oz butter
3 dl / 1 cup milk
6 shallots
4 dl / 1½ cup beef stock from cube / powder
4 dl / 1½ cup red wine
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp rosemary
4 tbsp flour
1 tbsp cornstarch
pepper & salt
1 bay leaf
Clean the liver under running cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Put the slices one hour in a bowl with the milk to soften the taste.

Heat one-third of the butter in a saucepan and sauteé for four minutes the peeled and quartered shallots. Turn down the heat. Add the stock, wine, thyme, rosemary and bay leaf and simmer the sauce until it is half the size.

Drain the liver and pat the slices dry. Sprinkle salt and pepper and flour on all sides. Heat the rest of the butter in a frying pan and quickly fry the liver on both sides till it is done and golden brown (about four minutes).

Take the bay leaf from the sauce, thicken it with cornstarch and add salt and pepper to taste.

Put two slices of liver on each plate and pour over the wine sauce. Serve with rice and snow peas.
Experiment making the sauces first because there is nothing worse than wrecking a good meal with a bad sauce.
Some red wine sauces call for the addition of cream which tastes great. My preference is to wrap the liver in bacon and fix it with a toothpick then fry it. Add the sauce to the liver and bacon to include the fat in the sauce.

If it is coming up stewed, it means you are trying to cook too much in the pan at once.

This is true of all meat that you want to fry - make sure there is plenty of room around each piece and that there isn't too much in the pan at the same time.

Regarding temperature and cooking time you can cook it EITHER on a high temperature for a very short time or a low temperature for a long time but not vice versa.

[craigb]

I'm with Dan on this one.

One of the good things about being Aussie, imo, is that we don't have to eat offal.

[echnidna]

Casserolled, fried or Barbecued its nice any way long as its cooked well.
Chicken livers are just as nice

[Kev Y.]

Unfortunatley I can not bring myself to eat anything an animal has used to: a) think with, :eek:
b) lick with, :eek:
c) digest with, :eek:
d) walk on :eek:

[JackoH]

's right. My missus does the best lambs fry baon and onion gravy I've ever tasted, (including my Mums and she's a good cook too)and no you aint invited to dinner!

[outback]

Unfortunatley I can not bring myself to eat anything an animal has used to: a) think with, :eek:
b) lick with, :eek:
c) digest with, :eek:
d) walk on :eek:
a) lambs brains, crumbed, fried in butter and spread on toast, a bloody bewdiful feed.

b) tongue, Ok I guess, not fussed on it though.

c) I guess your'e grouping fry and all in this, and you know my thoughts about it. Sweet breads, (pancreas I think) are a bit rich. kidneys are bloody delicious in the ol' steak and Kidney pie. tripe is really really really really really and I do mean really yuck.

d) depends what you mean walk on, you don't actually eat the hooves do you. lamb shanks slow cooked, or braised make a good feed too.

[DavidG]

I'm with the crowd.

My wife will not cook it but when she is away I do. Yum. :D :D

[Gingermick]

My wife is a lovely lady but she could never cook Lamb's Fry Gingerchick is also a lovely lady but she wont touch lamb's fry; or liver or kidney or haggis or brains or anything other than steak or chops or mince.
Luckily I'm as skilled in the art of food preparation as I am in the art of marquetry.

Not true, I dont know anything about marquetry

[craigb]

you guys are making me hungry


No, you guys are making me nauseus.

'Scuse me while I puke.

[JDarvall]

Thanks fella's,,,,,,wash it first(maybe),,,,,,thinly slice it,,,,,,,flour it......low heat it.....with butter........but I think ........

.

This is what the problem was.......thanks.........I remember commenting to the misses......'that too small a pan for all that isn't it ? ... couldn't you buy it in a smaller portion ?' to which she replied.......

' Thats the only size they sold it in.....now do you want this crap or not ?.....anyway what do you know about cooking ? so shut up '

Yeh.....Charming I thought,,,,,,have to wait at least a week for this mood to pass,,,,,,but sadly,,,,,, in my home thats called foreplay. :rolleyes:

Apricotripper,
if you're feeling a real lift after eating liver then there's a good chance you're anaemic (low in iron). It maight pay to get a check up.

[Ashore]

I still think its offal that is not nice

Liver is very high in a whole bunch of vitamins.

So if you get a craving for lambs fry, buy a few hundred grams, feed it to your cat and take a multi-vitamin. You'll feel better, your cat will feel better and no-one will have be revolted by what you ate. :D

Thanks......I will.....and

it might sound nieve.....but whats Portnoy's complaint ??

[JackoH]

Sorry ,. You of course, are welcome any time. :cool:

( Portnoy didn't eat the liver did he, or did he? :confused: he was just a w****r anyway! ) :p

[Iain]

One thing is conclusive here, I know where NOT to go for a barby.
I suppose some of you like mountain oysters too....
I like steak Tartare providing it is well done :D :D
And I can handle pate in small doses.

[JackoH]

Geez Iain, You've changed since you left the valley!

(I like a bit of well done Steak Tartare too, the raw egg gets me a bit queezy though.)

[Iain]

I prefer to leave the egg out, just capers and I'm fine.

[craigb]

Thanks......I will.....and

It's a well known book by Phillip Roth.

The hero liked to, ahem, get up close and personal with liver. Amongst other things.

Actually, he probably would have been right at home in The Rip In The Fabric of The Universe. :D
