Steak pie n mushy peas with pickled red cabbage

[UGAbone4evr]

Some burgers from Wendy's.  Always seems like a good idea (given it's kinda cheap and fast) but then when I finish I'm always asking myself why I ate that.

Office party... too much food,
Meats - smoked turkey, smoked pork shoulder
Other main course type foods - lazagna, tamales, more
Side type items - caseroles x 10, greens, brussle sprouts, more
Deserts - cheesecake, cookies, more...

nice and spicy (but never really spicy enough) Nam Sod (Thai ground chicken salad) with Tom Yum Seafood soup.

Nice meal for a cold Chicago day!

At the gig last night (where, unusually, the band was given the same meal as the punters!), the main course was venison steaks with roast vegetables. I like venison in a casserole, but not as something so raw that it was almost leaping around on the plate!

We had a great meal last night. So good, in fact, that I feel compelled to share the recipe with you.

It's by Billy Diacos, owner of Zeus restaurant in Port Douglas, QLD.

It appears in the book 'Fare Exchange', which is essentially a bunch of Aussie chefs sharing some of their most popular dishes.

Lamb Cutlets with Greek Potatoes
Serves 4

Ingredients
LAMB:
1 tbsp sweet paprika
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tbsp dried mint
2 tbsp dried oregano
3 sprigs rosemary
150ml olive oil
16 lamb cutlets, french trimmed
lemon juice, sliced spanish onion and flat-leaved parsely to serve

GREEK POTATOES:
1 onion, finely chopped
1 red capsicum (bell pepper), thinly sliced
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
100ml olive oil
2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tsp oregano leaves
1 tbsp tomato paste
3 sprigs rosemary
12 chat potatoes, washed and halved

METHOD:
Combine paprika, garlic, herbs and oil in a glass or ceramic dish, season to taste with sea salt and black pepper and mix well. Add lamb, and turn to coat in mixture, then cover the refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

For the potatoes, place all the ingredients except the potatoes in a bowl and mix well. Add potatoes, season and toss to combine. Transfer to a roasting pan and roast at 220C for 30-40 mins or until tender

Remove cutlets from marinade and char-grill or BBQ over a medium-high heat for 2-3 mins each side, then rest in a warm place for 5 mins

Divide potatoes among plates, top with lamb cutlets, drizzle with lemon juice, scatter with sliced spanish onion and parsley and serve.

Note we usually also serve it with lightly steamed spinach.
