Jonty Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 Living in the sticks, I do miss stumbling home from the pub leaving a little trail of cabbage salad bending me as I scoff a doner kebab. Last night I had some mates round so we could spend some quality time together so I thought I’d have a go at making a miniature elephants leg. It was incredibly easy, just mix spices with the lamb mince, roll in a foil ‘sausage’ and bake in the oven. I must admit there was some drunken blow torch activity involved in getting a nice char - but it was great fun. Well worth a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatcatsplat Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) Looks excellent - And crucial sauces are always a good shout (Also love the kegerator - You running a couple of corny kegs?)

Edit - Have you got a recipe please? Gladly, I looked at a few recipes online and went with what I could see was the common theme, I used: 1kg of 15% fat lamb mince 1tspn salt 2 tspn ground cumin 2 tspn ground corriander 2 tspn paprika 2 tspn dried oregano 1 tspn onion powder 1 tspn chilli powder I added all the spices etc to the meat and really worked it till it changed texture slightly. Rolled it in foil and in the oven on a trivet at 200C until the meat hit 75C - which took maybe 45 mins. @Fatcatsplat thanks - it was a 'free to a good home' freezer so It ain't pretty but I'm more concerned about what's coming out of it!! I've got 4 x cornies and 2 x pins, a firkin and 2 x angram hand pumps. Most beer gets kegged unless I'm having a party where I know we will get through a barrel with a hand pump (which is much more fun in my opinion).

mgsontour Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 1 x 500grm pack of lamb mince into liquidiser ( as Jonty suggested to change the consistancy ) added 1 pack of keeeeeebab spices as in photo. As we are al on a learning curve, I opted for a square rather than round and into the oven tonight and am going to let it cool tonight, slice tomorrow and put under the grill to achieve the char Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
