Fox Trot Farm Lamb Curry

Oh boy, is this ever delicious! If you’ve never tried anything with curry, this is what you should make because you will love it! Odds are you will have all the ingredients in your pantry, even the spices. Speaking of spices, we all now know all the great benefits spices bring to our health, so, along with our lamb, this dish is good health in a bowl.

Start by making your spice mix and mincing the veggies. Measure everything out before hand so you have it ready for this quick dish.

Ingredients ready for cooking

Fox Trot Farm Slow Cooker Lamb Barbacoa

Fox Trot Farm Lamb Barbacoa

We loved the tender and juicy lamb barbacoa we ate in Mexico. It was served stuffed into the football shaped bolillo rolls, and on tacos, too. It was seasoned and moist with the most delicious brothy sauce and had the texture of Sunday roast beef. I had to ask how this wonderful dish was created. The answer was that the lamb meat quarters were slow roasted in a pit in the ground and the recipe ingredient list seemed as long as my arm. I feared it was beyond my ability to recreate this dish at home, but decided to give it a good try so I could share the recipe with you.

Instead of buying all the different dried chilis and starting from scratch, I decided to use a can of red enchilada sauce as the seasoning base. Easy for me because someone else already did all the work with the roasted chilis and many other ingredients. Instead of asking Farmer Bob to dig a pit in the yard for roasting, I decided to try the slow cooker in my kitchen. Good choice! (Farmer Bob agrees!) We think it turned out really tasty using our Fox Trot Farm bone-in leg of lamb, and we hope you give it a try.

Give me a call or text me at 803-804-3541 to reserve your pasture raised Fox Trot Farm bone-in leg of lamb before we sell out. You can pick it up by appointment here at the farm or at the Matthews Community Farmers Market on Saturday mornings till we sell out.

First, score your roast like this, rub in the salt, and let it rest while you get everything else pulled together.

Savory Lamb, Pumpkin, & Black Bean Stoup Recipe

Lamb, Black Bean, Pumpkin Stoup

I think it was Rachel Ray who coined the phrase “Stoup” because sometimes there are brothy stews that are also like soup, and this recipe is one of those. It’s a thick soup or a brothy stew; hence, it’s a stoup! This is a very adjustable recipe, so if you have more or less pumpkin or black beans, or prefer pintos instead of black beans, or half and half, etc., you just use what you have or prefer. Don’t skip or sub the tomatoes with chilis, though, because they are integral to the wonderful flavor. If you like your soup spicy, then sauté some cayenne pepper flakes with the ground lamb. I can’t wait for you to try this!

Call or text me at 803-804-3541 to place your order for our lean and tender pasture raised ground lamb. You can pick it up here at the farm or at the Matthews Community Farmers Market on Saturday mornings from 8-Noon. EIEIO!

Here’s the recipe:

Most Delicious Bone Broth Recipe EVER!

Oh my goodness, but I’ve found what I think is the best recipe for the most delicious bone broth ever created! This is inspired by a recipe I came upon while scrolling the Internet and I made a few adjustments on ingredients and quantities, and now I think this will be my go-to recipe from now on. You can use our lamb soup bones and ribs to make this either in a large stock pot or Instant Pot or other pressure cooker. I use the 8 qt. IP to save the hours of slow simmering in a stock pot. Using the pressure cooker also locks in massive amounts of flavor.

Here’s the easy recipe:
