A touch of salt, a touch of pepper, mint sauce, even roast potatoes, peas and a little gravy if you are so inclined.
Add a knife and fork, and you are in heaven.
My roast lamb recipe - shove it in the oven, cook it, eat it.
Can you name a better meal that is this easy and tastes even half as good?
woolies chicken and bread rolls.
and pasta salad if you're feeling fancy.
this, but you need some sort of gravy
peas and a little gravy
I eat my peas with honey
I've done it all my life
It makes the peas taste funny
But it keeps them on the knife

Need to actually see the meme pic to appreciate it more (the Costanza/Seinfeld one)
you son of a… I almost copied that to try find it…
Lasagna all the way.
Some pasta sheets (fresh, not from the shelf!)
Mince, tomato paste, garlic, pasta sauce, make a bechamel sauce (if you don’t use bechamel it won’t taste the same) dice some fresh tomatoes for the mince to add that fresh flavour and then serve with parmesan and you have a meal which will last you days. Taste better the next day, trust me!
Lasagna is too labour intensive, delicious though
Agree 100% but if you make enough you can get a meal for 3 days! I always make enough to make sure i get a few good servings out of it
Indomie goreng
Lamb is one of the most disgusting meats there ever was. I would sooner eat horse, or even dolphin before I ever put lamb anywhere near my mouth ever again. Lamb literally smells like it is made out of skunk's buttholes.
smells like it is made out of skunk's buttholes.
I won't ask…
Ok, I will. How do you know?
.
Thanks for asking. Cheers.
Because I was once offered both lamb and skunk’s butthole, and I decided to eat the less offensive smelling of the two, so skunk’s butthole it was… on dry toast… still better than lamb.
I’ve stepped in dog shit that was less offensive than lamb to smell.
I remember going to a bbq once where they were cooking lamb, and I honestly thought they dug up their dead cat and just threw it on the bbq, dirt, hair and all…
I’ve heard that the reason they cook lamb at outback weddings, is to keep the flies off the bride.
At the botanical gardens, they thought that the corpse flower had bloomed… turned out it was just someone’s lamb lunch…
@pegaxs: I don't know why you got downvoted for that because it's hilarious. Here, have an equaliser.
Also waiting for an answer.
Fuchsia.
Reeeeeeeeeee! How dare you insult one of the tastiest meats.
I’ve gutted a few sheep over the years and they smell nothing like skunk buttholes. An old ram will smell gamey but still nothing like skunk.
My dad is the same. Refuses to eat lamb. Thinks it stinks and tastes the same.
OK now post what you do like so people can tear you apart.
Sashimi. Grab your favourite bocho, slice away and toss into mouth. Dash of soy sauce and or wasabi if you wish…….or bite the flesh directly like a barbarian. Raw scallops and sea urchin are up there in terms of tasty raw seafood. Delicious.
Fresh green veg mix from my garden with a bit of home made dressing.
White rice with just maggi or white rice with sunny side up egg(s)+maggi
Risotto in the pressure cooker/instant pot.
Bacon, onion, chicken, arborio rice, dry white, chicken stock, 8min pressure cook, butter + real parmesan cheese
Easy, delicious, minimal stirring.
Homemade neopolitan style Margherita pizza on your Ooni/Ooni clone/Roccbox
Spam and rice.
Cheese sandwich
Minus the bread
Then minus the cheese.
In some places, you'd be arrested at minimum, but likely shot, if you said that.
Soft cooked bacon with the fat on is a major winner. Without the fat it is just fried shoe leather.
Pressure cooker risotto has my attention. Love risotto, hate preparation.
Getting the Chicken legs was a fight to the death in my childhood, but it has been so GMO'ed in the last 20 years, I am afraid to eat whatever chemicals are in them now
and to those putting up packet stuff. you funny.
Unless you have your own piggery and grow your own rice then how do you know that you won't be consuming GMO'd bacon and rice?

There are no genetically-modified animals raised for food in Australia. If there were, they would be clearly labelled.
Pork knuckle
May or may not need that knife and fork
That's a "When Harry met Sally" moment.
I once bought a precooked one from the supermarket, Full of meat, fat and crackling.
Could have retired under a tree down the backyard for hours.
I just grab those pre marinated chicken from Aldi, chuck it in a pot and sous vide it. Air fry for a few mins after and dinners sorted
Hot Pot all the way, buy soup base, boil water, chuck in whatever you like to eat and you are good to go
Roast duck with trimmings.
Peanut butter sammich
Of course there is.
Weet-bix with no milk.
if I recall last century as two young guys batching - we used to enjoy lamb roast - crisp up the outside fatty layer in a hot oven, slice off the OMG delicious crispy outer layer and eat off the fork - back in the oven to re-crisp - repeat until down to the bone
one day when we were standing in the kitchen full flight in this orgy of pleasure, a Hong Kong Chinese medical student we were sharing the house with came out several times, saw this, silently shook his head sadly, and went away. On the last time, he stood in the doorway and began shaking with repressed feelings, until finally he could no longer contain himself and burst out with a shout - 'Where's the RICE !!!!????' and disappeared back to his bedroom.
We burst out laughing - as white young anglo males we chuckled 'We're Australian - we don't eat rice !'
A fatty cut of meat on rice is the bomb, I have fully converted to this way of life.
Baked skin on salmon - covered in a mix of 2tbsp brown sugar, 1tbsp dijon, 1 tbsp mayo (makes enough to cover 4 fillets), baked for 18 minutes on 180. Nothing better.
Nice I'll try that one day. Any guide on temperature and time for cooking?
My easy quick meal for the fam is using mi goreng noodles to make a stir fry with veggies, shredded ham and fried egg.
Gourmet hot dog with the lot
Chiko roll and chips.
Crumbed lambs brains.
That sounds delicious. Do you have an ingredients list?
Winner winner, Crumbed Brains dinner.
It's been sooo long, and a bit hard to find like minded diners.
And now that you mention, see if you can find fried crumbed Eel anywhere.
It's a rare but exqusite delicacy.
Plenty of lambs brains around throughout coNvid.
Thank you all for sharing.
I should add that a serve of Crumbed cutlets would distract me from the Leg.
The leg wins because cutlets can be a bit of a mystery. Just occasionally, the quality is only 90%
I can’t even remember the last time I had crumbed cutlets.
do it man, you'll never look back
Lamb leg, cup of beef stock, onion sliced, 10 garlic cloves and 8 hours on high in a slow cooker. 20 mins in oven at 200. While waiting for the oven, pour juices into saucepan, add flour. Let it thicken then blitz with a stick blender.
Tastes awesome and the meat just falls of the bone.
8 hours… damn. You really should borrow a pressure cooker to try. I get the same results in less than 30 minutes while I'm having a shower. I wouldn't do the oven bit because I hate meat that's dry on the outside, but you could still do that. The only trick is to oil and spice the meat then turn it onto the different sides in a frying pan or the bottom of the pressure cooker pot (which is better tbh because it reduces splatter and less cleanup later) on medium to medium-high heat with some more oil to brown it. Then sit it on a wire rack placed over the other stuff you first mentioned, start it high then turn temp down so it's only releasing steam every minute or two. Probably about 27 minutes is enough. Then your oven step. If you think you love the gravy you get now, get ready to have your socks knocked off.
Same thing with roast beef. Coat it with oil, salt, pepper. Brown the different sides. Remove it, pour in the beef stock, onions, carrots, garlic, whatever else in the bottom, no recipe is needed really. Wire rack, then meat. Again about 27 minutes with the pressure on the highest setting. remove meat and vegetables. Add flour if you want it, but part or most of the onions and some of the vegetables outer skin usually come off to thicken the stock so flour isn't really needed - it's only if you need to increase the volume. I usually just add more stock in the first place. Somewhere between 500mL to 1L.
Actually if you haven't had gravy made in a pressure cooker with the meat before, you might need to water it down and add flour anyway because It's so flavourfull. You'll probably wind up with gravy left over after the meat has gone.
Wifey rubs lamb with strawberry jam before roasting… ….noice!!!
Why the negs? If you try it , the jam dries like a baste and changes flavour
An ode to roast lamb~
Can you name a better meal that is this easy and tastes even half as good
I can name alot more than one my friend…
Smoked, beef brisket with some roasted veggies.
Pulled pork (smoked and cooked low & slow) with a simple slaw in them sliders…
Toasted country bread topped with stagg, topped with slice of melted cheese, topped with bulls eye with runny yolk.
p.s. smoking and low and slow may seem it takes alot of time and effort. But think of it as doing few meals in advance ;)
I'd just combine a subset of your 3 options into one
Smoked, beef brisket +
Pulled pork +
topped with slice of melted cheese +
in them sliders
:)
Brisket? It's usually pulled because it's too tough to cut.
Nice options but I expected to see pickle in there

Perhaps you missed the low and slow comment.
The entire state of Texas just shook their head at you :)
Pulled pork is garbage, the weakest of all the bbq meats and exists mostly to just get drowned in whatever sauce the pitmaster is into at the time.
Exceptional brisket is, however, one of the absolute greats.
Pulled pork is garbage
You haven’t had any good pulled pork.

Yup, more confirmation that you haven’t had any good pulled pork.
✌️
Eh, I’ve had plenty of what is considered “good pulled pork” as I have spent a decent amount of time around BBQ groups and people, and pork butt and shoulder is just a fairly bland cut that relies far too much on the rub and/or sauce to give it a real kick. Even a lot of the pros will inject or brine to get a bit more happening with it.
Especially compared to beef shorties/brisket, lamb shoulder, things that have an excellent flavour with just salt/pepper I just find it an underwhelming dish, and a lot of my BBQ mates are the same, but everyone’s tastebuds are different I guess.
And re: the sauce comment, most places/cooks here generally tended to lean more towards the KC/Carolina styles for pork I’ve found - I generally prefer Texas style as above, and as I said find it pales in comparison to more flavourful meats.
I hate lamb, so the answer is yes. Pretty much anything is better than lamb to me. Pork, chicken, beef etc are all far better.
Until I read this thread I didn't know there are actual human beings who aren't vegetarian and don't love lamb. There seems to be a few of you out there.
I love animals and I don't even care that lambs don't get to grow up and experience adult life.
Sorry, you cute little things. It's not your fault.
But you just taste too awesome.
Steak from Salt Bae's restaurant
Tasty because of the added sweat and hair that is collected from his unwashed arms.
Cocopops.
Pour some milk in.. dig in with a spoon. If you're a fast eater and hungry, you don't even need a bowl!
Rolled Lamb shoulder boneless. Cooked slow in a roasting bag with Garlic, lemon juice and 5 teaspoons of salt and 2 teaspoons of pepper, add some rosemary if inclined. Start at 200c for 20 mins then pull back to 140c for 4 hours. Use all the juices from the bag to make gravy with gravox or similar… You wont be disappointed.
Too difficult, would rather just pop a chunk of lamb into the oven with some salt and paper maybe some veggies to roast if you can bother and call it a day.
Prefer rack of lamb.
watermelon
cheese toastie
Lamb smells like the Easter Show. Never been a fan.
…for now.
