Lamb BLT

[LYU370]

Did you know there is a Cured TD going on?

Started off with some lamb breast from Wally World. Simple cure, salt, brown sugar, pepper, cure #1 & maple syrup. Rub it up, vac pak and into the fridge for two days. Pretty thin, so shouldn't take nearly as long as pork belly.

Unwrap, and back in the fridge for a day.

Into the FEC for a cold smoke with just the draft fan on. Yep, we're makin' lamb bacon. Cold smoked for about three hours.

Then turned on the FEC for about an hour. Lamb poofs up when you cook it.

Sliced on the bias since it's pretty thin.

Fried up a couple pieces to try, decided to skip the grill and stick with the frying pan as the slices are on the smaller side. Besides, the Big Joe is frozen shut once again. I really need to replace that felt gasket this spring.

I'm thinking a BLT needs lots o bacon, some of Mongo's Mongolian Bacon Jam should do the trick & a little garlic dill mayo. Or is it an aoli? :noidea:

Add plenty of lamb bacon, some tomato & butter lettuce.

Good stuff, not gamey. A little sweet actually, probably from the maple syrup & the bacon jam. I'd make this again. #1 son devoured his.

Thanks for looking.

I love it.
How tender is the sliced and fried lamb?

I think I need to try this one...

Pretty much like pork bacon, maybe a little chewier, not quite as crispy.

Best Lamb with Mongolian Bacon Jam BLT I've ever seen

Probably the only one. :razz:

Took me a while to figure out why it was called Mongo-lian bacon jam. ound:

Spectacular!

I like lamb bacon and yours looks like a homerun!

 

[Learning to BBQ]

Dayum Andy! I may or may not be drooling right now. :wink:

I like that you're not shy about adding too much bacon.............as if there is ever such a thing. My kind of BLT indeed!
