Kraft Kitchens Tips

Serving Suggestion

Balance this special-occasion entree with smart side dishes. For example, choose a small baked potato or roasted potato wedges and a hot cooked green vegetable.

How to Select Lamb

Look for lamb that is pinkish red and has a velvety texture. Dark red meat usually indicates the meat is older.

This was a great recipe! My picky eater loved it. A cautious note is to watch for overcooking of the lamb particularily if you this is your first attempt at lamb.

We loved this! My picky eater (3 yrs old) gobbled it up! My husband couldn't stop eating it as he was trying to dish it! It was moist and the flavors all complimented eachother so well. We didn't find the dressing specified in the recipe, so we used a pepercorn vinaigrette. Ours didn't turn out as beautifully (presentation), but who cares when it's so tasty!! we'll be making this again for family get togethers!

I have made this recipe twice. I substituted the lamb with a pork tenderloin. It was excellent. Just be careful not to overcook.
