Lamb

Lamb is the most versatile of meats and lends itself particularly well to spicing and barbecuing. Make the most of it with Delia's luscious recipes.

 
 
A Very Quick MoussakaServes 2-3

A Very Quick Moussaka

This brilliant moussaka will give your guests the impression that you've been cooking for hours, when in fact - thanks to a raft of ready-made ingredients - all you've done is a quick assembly job.

 
 
Aubergines Stuffed with MoussakaServes 4-6

Aubergines Stuffed with Moussaka

As Delia says, this recipe has plenty of imitators but all too often it's disappointing. Not here: rich, meaty, packed with Italian flavour, it does take a long time to cook, but that's the secret of a perfect Bolognese.

 
 
Autumn Lamb Braised in BeaujolaisServes 6-8

Autumn Lamb Braised in Beaujolais

You could make this at any time of the year, but in Delia's view autumn lamb gives the most flavourful results. Serve it with plenty of mashed potato and root veg.

 
 
A Mixed Grill with Apricot Barbecue GlazeServes 6

A Mixed Grill with Apricot Barbecue Glaze

Use whatever meats you like, and chicken: the most important element is this lovely tangy, fruity glaze that lifts a barbecue into another realm…

 
 
BoboutieServes 1

Boboutie

This just goes to show you can make something really special with ordinary minced beef. The recipe comes from Africa, but seems to me to have an interesting mixture of European and Oriental overtones.

 
 
Baked Lamb with Potato, Garlic and RosemaryServes 1

Baked Lamb with Potato, Garlic and Rosemary

A great midweek supper or weekend treat, this recipe simply involves throwing lamb chops, garlic, herbs and potatoes into a baking tin and roasting. What could be easier?

 
 
Braised Lamb Shanks with Cannellini BeansServes 2

Braised Lamb Shanks with Cannellini Beans

This is delightfully simple as everything goes into one pot, no accompaniments are needed, and it provides a complete menu for two people. It is also very good with flageolet or borlotti beans.

 
 
Baked Lamb with Rosemary with Redcurrant and Mint SauceServes 6

Baked Lamb with Rosemary with Redcurrant and Mint Sauce

This wonderful recipe combines the flavour of roast lamb with rosemary and mint - traditional herbs for lamb - plus redcurrants. A truly special way to serve up Sunday lunch...

 
 
 The Lean Shepherd's PieServes 4

The Lean Shepherd's Pie

This is one of the recipes, developed by Delia in conjunction with McCain, to give the Norwich players maximum potential for success in her fuel time plan.

 
 
A Bit of the Irish Stew with Crusted DumplingsServes 4-6

A Bit of the Irish Stew with Crusted Dumplings

Irish Stew is one of the best casserole dishes in the entire world. If you top it with dumplings, then bake it in the oven so that they turn crusty and crunchy, you will have a heavenly banquet on your plate.
