Middle Eastern Lamb Shoulder, Freekeh Salad, Garlic Yoghurt

Middle Eastern Lamb Shoulder, Freekeh Salad, Garlic Yoghurt

Lamb shoulder is the total goods, particularly slow cooked, Middle Eastern style with a gloriously nutty, fresh and zesty salad and roasted garlic infused yoghurt. There really is not much more to say about this one except that I am advising you to cook it, today. If...

Greek Lamb & Haloumi Burgers with Herb Yoghurt

Greek Lamb & Haloumi Burgers with Herb Yoghurt
