I sous vide a leg of lamb for dinner

And I have to say, it was sublime!

Coated a semi boneless half a leg. Coated it with evo, garlic, fresh rosemary, salt and pepper and cooked it at 130F for eight hours. Made a red wine, rosemary sauce to serve.

So tender, juicy and delicious!

If you don’t have a sous vide device, get one! And please do a leg of lamb.

But this method was fab, melt in the mouth and all the connective tissue was tender as well.

Ironically I live in CO, and the main supply here is NZ

I built a small barn complex with a chicken coop, 2 lambing jugs, a little hay and feed storage area and a room with a feed rack. Grand kids wanted a place to raise lambs for FFA. Talked my ex out of two ewes in June and bought a 10 month old ram in August to breed them. Following March had two sets of twins. Got a permit from the city council which just needed consent of adjacent neighbors. Small, rural towns are the bomb. Best of luck if you try raising your own. Hope you do.

I've done lamb in mine. Plus, it also does a great job with garbanzos.

Pork tenderloin -134F

Sirloin, tenderloin, strip, rib steaks -125F

Chicken breasts - 141F

Roasts of any sorts

Do not like salmon


Two main reasons to love the method is 1) flawless results and 2) can cook from frozen.

also sounds like a way of avoiding unfortunate delays, overwarming, etc, during defrosting.
