In Season: Spring Lamb

2008_03_10-SpringLamb.jpg

At the Ferry Building Farmer's Market on Saturday, we saw a lot of fresh, organic spring lamb being sold by local farmers.

The farmers were conscious about not wasting the animal; all edible parts were being offered, from the meat to the organs to the bones. Some farmers were also selling yarn balls of spun lambswool for knitting. We applaud their sustainable business practices.

Lamb is a traditional Easter main course in many cultures. Lamb comes from the meat of sheep that are less than a year old, and can be stewed, roasted, grilled. It is a versatile meat that has a strong, distinctive flavor. A few recipes from our archives to try are:

Makes me long for a weekend in San Francisco to try all the great variations. The chefs are always so excited to show it off.

Bellwether Farms was one of the best from what I remember.

I started eating lamb this past summer in Greece. It was delicious. Your post makes me want some good grilled chops right now.
